This morning while playing chase with Carson, I got injured. SEVERELY injured.
See, I was chasing him back and forth, catching him, tickling him, then sending him on his merry way for more chasing. For some unknown reason he veered from our silently agreed upon game and decided to HEAD-BUTT ME IN MY CROTCH.
Huh? Wha?? Crotch head-butting wasn’t a part of the game I was playing???
OH my aching crotch.
It was all I could do not to scream shitf*ckdamnhellc*ntf*ckf*ckf*ck!
Having a crotch wound is not only painful, but awkward to nurse back to health. Rubbing my sore, achy crotch…well, it looks weird. I can’t really go out in public, stroking my girly region now can I? Also, there’s no easy way to wrap an Ace bandage around your crotch. Trust me. I tried. Band-aids cure most ailments, but not those where HAIR and tender skin are involved. I also attempted putting ice on my crotch, but um…ice? It’s especially cold when touching your crotch.
I haven’t, uh, visually inspected my crotch to check for bruising, but I don’t think I need to SEE it. I FEEL it, thankyouverymuch. My crotch HURTS.
My crotch won’t be accepting ANY visitors any time soon (sorry Tate, talk to CARSON about that), but she is accepting sympathy cards. You can send those to:
Jennifer’s Crotch
c/o Jennifer…because it’s MY crotch, that’s why. I’m caring for it the best I can.

At least crotch is better than that other c-word you could have used.
I’m sure if I injured myself, my husband would offer to “massage” it better. Right.

Bless your heart! That hurts so bad!
My crotch has been head-butted by children before too and has been attacked by a bar on a bicycle too. I feel your pain. I feel sympathy pains now.
Ouch. I hope your crotch recovers quickly.
Perhaps a few better boo boo kisses from Tate, maybe that will help a bit.

Ouch. ouch. ouch. You have my deepest sympathy and I share some very sincere empathy with your pain.
When Princess was a little bit shorter she would frequently run up to give me a hug but end up head butting me right there. It was a talent the way she could somehow get between my legs while I was walking and smack her melon right into my groin.

Unfortunately I don’t think Tate is going to have much sympathy for you…..he will most likely turn this injury around and make it about how many times he has been head-butted in HIS crotch area. Those toddler heads are the perfect height!!! Man…..I however, know and feel your pain. So, so sorry.

Dear Jennifer’s Crotch,
Please get well soon. She has lots of important stuff to do, and she doesn’t want you aching and sore and screwing up her day.
I’m sure if you hurry the hell up and heal, she will treat you well. Maybe a nice Brazillian, some warming gel, or a see through thong.
Anyway, send my regards to Jennifer, and most importantly, get well soon!!
I didn’t just make this comment section all weird, did I?

Dear Jennifer’s Crotch,
Wow. I heard what happened. How are you doing? I mean, *really*. You can’t be feeling good right now, sore and throbbing for all the wrong reasons. I know you’re pissed at Jennifer right now, thinking she should have worn a cup when she was playing with Carson, but don’t blame her - she didn’t know things would go so awry. Try not to be angry. Just relax, put your feet up, maybe take a bath, and you’ll feel better tomorrow. I promise.
Sincerely,
Heather

I racked myself once on a bike. Worst pain ever. I can only imagine what it must be like for the boys, who have the misfortune of wearing their most sensitive reproductives on the outside.
I’d rather give birth again. Your pudendum has my deepest sympathies. (Not sure if I should use the singular or the plural “pudenda,” but I’m going with the singular…)

YIKES! Be careful. In a “sparring” incident gotten out of hand my brother kneed me in the crotch hard enough to break blood vessles and damaged lymphnodes that then got infected some how. (I have no idea. I was like 16 at the time.) I actually have a scar from this.
Sadly, much like a guy, I dropped to my knees and cried when it happened. I’m such a wuss.
Hope you recover quickly!
