It looked quite bad, with the long scratch bleeding a bit, but the worst was the huge goose egg protruding from the side of her right eye! It looked like a cartoon injury!
We went to the emergency ward, but the doctor didn't even order x-rays. He said it would bruise tomorrow, and probably take a few weeks to go back to normal. Paul couldn't believe her face when he came home tonight. At just 7 years of age, she has had a shiner better than any he has had in his 50 years!
