Norton and Pitt did it better

Sometimes you have to check the durability of your parents' hearts. I did so with mom on Friday, by falling head first into a the corner of the swing platform at the playground. Mom passed the test, although just barely. My eye did as well, although just barely. At first I got this magnificent swelling over one eye and between the eyebrows. Then the swelling turned black and blue and further added to my fighter look. But now, just two days later, it's barely even visible. It just looks like a well-applied eye-shadow, not at all in line with the fight-club look that I'm seeking.
