#1 That’s not the call that every parent dreads, Ivanka. I’m glad he’s all right, but every boy should have at least one broken bone in his youth.

#2 Usually its not a call. It's someone in 'authority' knocking on the door. Worst duty I had in service was death notifications.

#4 As a parent, it is a call I dread. Not as much as the other type but it's still a dread. Got a call when my son had a seizure and I was 10 minutes from home with dinner. Never wanted to kill everyone in sight and in my way so much in my life as I waited in traffic to get home. Obviously, I didn't and wouldn't do that but your kid being hurt or having a medical incident is NOT pleasant.

If you don't have kids, I don't think you can truly understand how....horrible having that switch in your brain thrown can be. Yes I'd be relieved that a wrist injury was the worst, but no injury bigger than minor cuts or scrapes is a pleasant experience for a parent. I can deal with being hurt, I know what it's like, how to deal with it. When it's your kid, in serious not-boo-boo pain, that helpless feeling is one of the most horrible I've ever felt.
