Tickle Your Funny Bone

We realize that every incident has a degree of severity and all of them are unfortunate, but occasionally we receive a student injury report with unique wording. Our form asks for a written description of the incident. However, the description sometimes lacks detail and inadvertently makes the incident sound funny. Some of it could be because the writer was in a hurry. We would like to share some of our favorite descriptions with you with hopes to . . . tickle your funny bone.

Karen jammed her left thumb with her tennis shoe while jumping rope on the playground.  (Flexible kid or weird style of jumping rope?)

Chuck collided with the wall after losing track of it.   (Was the wall moving?)

Joe fell off the ant and hurt his knee  (Do they sell Raid by the barrel?)

Melissa was running on the playground and turned into a tree    (How do you explain THAT to a parent?)

Chris tripped over a turtle on the sidewalk  (Turtle crossing!)

Johnny tripped over the rainbow. (We are assuming "the rainbow" is a piece of playground equipment.)

Chris was running and fell through a hole. (We are hoping he just stepped in a hole.)

The door jumped out and made him bump his head. (Watch out for doors with legs.)

Sarah's head got caught in the swing's chain. (Head? Are the links big enough for that?)

Sally fell while running off balance.

Chris received a bump on his head after being hit with ice cream thrown by a fellow student.  (I wouldn't eat it either.)

The computer was smoking. Firemen removed it from the building.  (He should have known there is no smoking in the building).

Brian was playing soccer, ran into another student and sprained his answer.

Sue backed into the rainbow at recess and bumped her head (You should always look where you're walking becuase you never know where a rainbow might pop up.)

Jessie fell off the rainbow to the ground (Too bad she didn't land in the pot of gold.)
