But get back to me when you start talking about broken femurs.
Hip, femur, it's all the same. It's easy to break a hip in two places.

Certain bones are all well and good, but the real trick is to break so many that the ER doc says something like, "I stopped counting fractures when I got to 26 because it was starting to get silly."

Out of everyone here, kdelong have given me the answer I was looking for. I was wondering what was the science behind it. I didn't actually want to break it. You guys are silly nannies.

Wow. I have been called a few names in the past, but this is the first time someone ever says that I am a silly nanny.

Yeah, right!. That's what you mean by "How do you do it and how come it's not happening to me?"
