What's on Todd's hand?

You may be wondering why Todd is trying to look like a bowler. Well Todd had a little accident. We went to the water park with the Vogel's for Levi's birthday party. It was really fun despite Levi yelling "It's my birthday!" every couple of minutes (just kidding about that not being fun). I got a little bit of whiplash from one of the rides, but Todd got a much worse injury. Him, Levi, and Rob decided to go on a 3 person tube ride together and were messing around trying to flip the tube and they successfully flipped it, but as they did Todd hit his thumb on the slide really hard. He hurt and it started swelling and bruising up pretty badly. Here is a picture that you can kind of see the bruising but not too well. It was a lot worse in person. Well this was on a Saturday and Todd waited until Monday to go to the doctor to see if it would start feeling better. He could move it so no one thought it was broken. We got x-rays and it ended up being broken in two places. His first concern was that he would not be able to play halo. Ridiculous is the only word that can explain it. He has been using it as an excuse to not clean dishes and do other things. If he doesn't want to do something he goes, "Michelle, my thumb..." that's it. Just "my thumb" is supposed to explain everything and be an excuse for everything. It hasn't worked THAT often...but he really hasn't done the dishes. :) He has to go to a hand specialist to make sure that it will heal properly, so we are really hoping that he doesn't have to get surgery! I did warn him at the water park to not mess around. Oh, and before he found out it was broken he was playing Halo anyways, despite the pain...so I kind of didn't feel sorry for him. Does that make me a bad wife? I don't think so.
