Self fulfilling irony

Today I took A.J. to The Wonder Place, a great establishment that has all sorts of cool stuff for kids to play with--slides, toys, a stage, an art room, you name it. It wasn't too crowded, with only a handful of other kids and parents there. One poor little guy about A.J.'s age had a band-aid on his forehead, clearly from some prior fall. As he was playing on a small set of steps in the slide area, the kid took a ridiculous flying backwards header, cracking the back of his skull pretty hard on the floor. He was scared more than anything, and luckily he seemed just fine after a couple of minutes. His mom was completely unfazed, as if she has seen that same move dozens of times before. She had a custom diaper bag with the little tot's name stitched on the side.

The boy's name? Tripp. I'm not even kidding.
