Yah, another Dark Knight reference. So sue me. I loved the movie and am a Batman freak. Anyway…
Act 1, Scene 1: Dad picks up his oldest son at daycare and sees this:
Dad: What happened?
Son: The balance beam hit me.
Dad: The balance beam? Oh you mean you fell off of it and landed on your face?
Son: No, the other kids were on it and didn't see me when I was walking up and it hit me.
Dad: Sooooo, they were using the balance beam as a teeter-totter and one end came up and hit you.
Son: Yah.
Dad: (Proud of himself that he got all the details and straight answers this time) Okay, well accidents happen, let's go home.
Act 1, Scene 2: Mom gets home and sees the damage on son's face.
Dad: He got hit with a balance beam they were using as a teeter-totter in the playground. (All the explanation needed he assumes)
Mom: They don't have a balance beam in the playground.
Dad:
Son: Yah, we don't.
Dad: Why does the 5 year old have such an easy time making me look stupid? (That's a rhetorical question, though I'm sure Mom had multiple answers stored up and ready)
Oh, and back to Batman. Doesn't his injury sort of remind you of Heath Ledger's Joker?
Pretty cool, huh? Mom didn't think so.

Poor Kid!! Cheryl must have went ballistic!!
So what was it that hit him? Mine would say it was the balance beam that walked up and hit her because nothing is her fault.
It looks like it hurt pretty bad. Did Cheryl call the center? :)
