Snow pain, snow pain at all

As if trying single-handedly to prove that my family's clumsiness gene had not skipped a generation, Ottawacker Jr managed to fall face first on a step and bang his lip on the side of the house.

Fortunately, Mrs Ottawacker was there to provide instant backwoods medicine. A bag of snow held against the offending lip soon meant that he was back to top form - and requesting Tim Bits on the way back home. 

I'd also have to say that the 'make the most out of any situation no matter how dire' gene also appears intact.
