Your brother fainted TWICE while watching Temple of Doom? OMG, that's priceless! I fainted a lot as a teen before my Mum realized that making her fair-skinned daughter stand around in the midsummer sun was probably a bad idea. One time, I fainted while holding onto a horse that my Mum was washing down. After I passed out, she couldn't get my hands to let go of the lead shank (you never let go!), so she had to have the horse drag me into the shade of the barn. Horse was amused, Mum was not.
Yep. Remember the heart scene? Konk! The OB went down. I forget the 2nd time, but poor Mom was pretty busy during that movie.
I hope by 'drag' you mean, on its back or in a cart or something. Though I can totally believe you held on passed out. I learned how to sleep while holding onto my bunk offshore Chile.... cause I was not going to fall out of the top bunk.
Nope, just dragged across the yard and the dirt barn floor...
Liam freaked out in a showing of The Wizard of Oz as a toddler and Mum had to deal with one child who was TERRIFIED BY FLYING MONKEYS (LO'B) and one who was fascinated and wanted to see the end of the movie (me). Parenting isn't for the faint *chuckles* of heart ;)
My mother let me stay up late to see the end of The Wizard of Oz every single time it played on TV because she had not been allowed to go see it, because her cousin was TERRIFIED BY FLYING MONKEYS. I suspect she thinks her cousin is a wimp to this day.
I am a strange combination of my parents. So I don't panic and can manage first aid (was a lifeguard) but might faint immediately afterwards. Also I can't watch injections, even on film.
lol! at least the fainting comes after the brave stuff. i had to inject umpteen hapless pieces of fruit and fake skin before i was allowed anywhere near a real peep, by which time it didn't feel too weird. or less weird than injecting a banana.
I have a cousin who got the fainting gene. She had to go to get her wisdom teeth extracted on three or four separate occasions, because she kept fainting when she saw the needle and they would cancel her surgery. She thought they should have taken the teeth, since she was passed out anyway... but apparently they need to know precisely how unconcious she was. Then she married a diabetic. So they had her injecting fruit too. Her sisters teased her that she needed to learn how to make an injection (in case of emergency) and then pass out afterwards, rather than beforehand.
