I have to post this or I'll explode!
I'm at my mom's house and my grandmother (90 yo) just fell and is feeling pretty sore. I was there and broke some of her fall, picked her up and got her back to her room, and got her pain medicine.
While I was doing that, DS started jumping on her bed and kinda rolled off onto the floor. No biggie - he laughed and ran away. As ususal (despite my habitually stopping her from talking to DS like this) she started scolding him and saying, "See there, I told you you'd fall if you jump. Do you want to fall on your head and get hurt?"
I told her, "Well, Granny, no one told you 'I told you so' because it doesn't feel very nice, so let's not tell Max that either."
OMG could it be any more obvious?! And they still don't get it!
