My 7 year old daughter just caught me with a right cracker. Hopefully my mouth will stop bleeding soon and the chunk of tongue that I have bitten off will grow back.

When it stops being funny.

So never.

7 years and you haven't learned to stay to one side yet?

about 8 or 9.

Then it gets replaced by incessant 'can we have a dog' pleading until you give in and get a puppy.

Which when you bend down to stroke it will jump up and headbutt you full in the face.

So, by proxy, about never.

I thought it was replaced by the bedroom door slamming in your face?

Memory loss brought about by repeated blows to the head...

At the dentist now having the two fillings damaged by the headbutt replaced.

£192 bill and half an hour of discomfort to come.

My lad did that to me on the first day of our holiday in 2012. I collapsed the day after and ended up spending the night in Truro hospital.

err... are you sure you're cut out for this parenting lark!?

Hospitals and dentists?
Really?

Neither of my two lads have done the reverse headbutt since somewhere around the age of three or four when they started to associate it with the excruciating pain of dad's teeth sinking into their tender scalp

Before she was even born, I fixed the Mini Cooper's bedroom door so it wouldn't slam. Plan ahead, you see 😀

It hurt like hell, but I put up with it until the next day then, when I was filling up with diesel at Morrisons in Bodmin, I collapsed due to internal bleeding. Nearly lost a nut.

Flashing blue lights with gas and air to Truro. Car abandoned in Bodmin. Wife and kids in a taxi back to Looe.

A lot of money was spent on taxis getting us all back together.
