Cartoons can come real

Today has flown along, does it ever suprise you how fast the day actually goes when your doing something. Perhaps it might also have something to do with crawling out of bed at 10am.
Dad had a tree felled as it was taking over one of the powerlines, so today we got out there and we cleaned it up. Seeing as though I hadn't played with a chainsaw for awhile, I decided I should probably do that part of it, and Dad got to take the wood away and put it in the trailer. I must admit I had fun, it always feels good to have a little power.
Abit of damage done, you know how you see those cartoons of people and they step on the end of the rake? It's a cartoon right!!?? Wrong, I came across it in real life today. Looking back on it it's quite funny, but at the time it killed and nope I didn't even swear, even with my eyes watering. I was cleaning up towards the end of the day and went to grab the rake to rake the littler stuff up and I reached for the rake and took one too many steps and whack, right in the forehead. You could hear the wood hit and Dad even looked around to see what happened.
Not too fussed after about 5 minutes.
A boy just having fun
Whacking into it.
So the moral of the story is some cartoons are real life. Umm I meant look out where your walking or you may get hit in the forehead!!
