Today, my 17-year-old son came home with a black eye saying he ran into a pole at school. I asked the principal if we could see the tapes. He actually did run straight into a pole. And not just once, twice. FML

He didn't give an excuse. I was laughing my ass off in the office though.

Maybe you should talk to him about the difference between Platform 9 3/4 and Narnia's lampost.

Unless your son has an undiagnosed neurological issue, I can't understand how in the Hell could he walk right into the pole twice?! Or had an epic Derp moment.

Round One could have created a new neurological problem. Hoping OP takes son and tape to a neurologist who is up-to-date on concussions, ASAP.

Why on gods green earth would he do that does he think he's Steve-o now?

at least he told the truth! I would think most kids his age would be like, "I got jumped by three body builders! I came out the winner though, all i got was one black eye! you should see what I did to them!"

I agree, at least he was honest. But I think I would've liked to think he was coordinated enough to avoid the pole.

was it really that important that you check the tapes even though he told you the truth?

He was honest...but twice I think is a bit off...I would love to know the reason for twice...

I think you should give him back his glasses..

There has to be some logical reason behind it. Did he say why he did?
