Broke Back Bath

Funny story, I was at the doctor getting results from a liver MRI, and as expected, everything was fine. But then my doctor said, "did you know you broke your spine?"
Wha?!?!
FLASHBACK: Last summer, I was putting Nathaniel in the bath, both my legs slipped from under me, still clutching Nate, I flew in the air and landed on my ass. I hear something pop and I was in excruciating pain, but I was more concerned with Nathaniel, who was fine and thought it was hilarious that is dad was lying in the tub, holding him above the water.

I knew I hurt my back, but I did not know that I had a compression fracture.

So when I say I break my back taking care of my kids, its not just an expression.

Squirrels: 1 Dad: 0

Nathaniel and I were at the Garfield tot lot in Prospect Park today, enjoying the unusually warm February day. I noticed a few squirrels sniffing around people's strollers, and I shooed them away. I even moved our stroller away from the benches and trees, thinking it would take a pretty ballsy squirrel to venture halfway in the tot lot for some cheerios.
Apparently Brooklyn squirrels are ballsy.

When we were leaving, I noticed the snack trap was missing from our bag. I looked into the woods and saw and there was a squirrel, pulling out cheerios one by one from our snack trap. My rage was tempered by Nathaniel's joy at watching the rodent eat his pilfered snacks.
