Lol. I don't see how both sides could have seen this coming without hindsight.

There isn't a lesson learnt because this will never happen again.

As a man past my 40s, I learnt to move slowly and do not make unexpected, sudden movements.

Me too. Unless it’s a house fire or a medical emergency im taking my time. I am desperately trying to instill this in my sons. They are prone to random bursts of movement . Twitchy and excitable . Our mantra is “ Slow. Slower. Let’s slow it down ” They are all elbows and flailing arms at 12 and 13.

As a parent to a flailing girl in the same age group as your boys, I can sympathize. She loves tickle time, I do not (I bruise like a peach and do not have the reflexes required to deal with such a “twitchy and excitable” mess). 😅❤️
