You Don't Talk about...Daycare Fight Club

Troy has had a rough couple of weeks, if the bruises on his forehead, arms, and legs are any indication. He lives life hard, and sometimes that wild abandon is followed by green remnants of past adventure. This evening, when I was changing his clothes after his bath, I asked him how he got some new bruise on his cheek. He replied, “I don’t know.” Repeated questions about other bruises were met with the same response.

His evasiveness immediately made me think that he was covering up something. Like maybe he’d made a pact not to talk about whatever it was. And I started wondering if the daycare was running an illegal underground fight club on the playground. It would explain why Troy has had so many bruises over the last couple of years. And the fact that he has not sustained serious injuries must mean that he’s winning. That’s my boy!
