My daughter comes home and tells me in passing she had a blood nose today. She gets blood noses pretty often, especially when its hot, so I didn't pay her much attention.
So later that evening after I point out one of her many bruises, she says "The teacher says I'll get a bruise here", pointing to the bridge of her nose between her eyes. "Why?" I say. "Because I got hit there with a ball by Eli at cricket time. And I was crying. And I had to sit out a whole lesson. They put an icepack on it. That's why I had a blood nose".
