Jamboree Tragedy

in | | Comments (4)

What a day at the Jamboree. I already knew about the 4 scouters from Alaska who were electrocuted. I heard about that on the national news. Then around 10:45 last night, my phone rings.

"Kem, this is Mr. S-, D-'s scoutmaster at the Jamboree. D-'s been involved in a little incident."

Do tell. Do tell.

It seems D- was taking a shower and some bozo left a razor blade on the floor. My son stepped on it giving him a cut that required 9 stitches.

Poor D-! Only the first day at the Jamboree and already he's hobbling. And now because of the cut he can't go in swimming. But it's nothing like what happened to that troop from Alaska. Such a pity that.

Things can only go up from here.

Sorry about your son's foot. As you say,
"Things can only go up from here".

Ouch. Nine stitches is a pretty good gash. That its the first day is a bummer.

Kem, You and your kids were the first people I thought about when I heard the tragedy on the radio news. It's so terrible. I just can't believe it.

I'm so sorry to hear about D's injury. I hope he has a speedy recovery so he can get back out on the dance floor. I rank foot pain right up there with tooth pain. It is just unbearable.

Ouch! That was some cut! Hope the rest of his time is better.
