Just so you know, Lucas seems to have recovered from his little accident last night. He’s got a little crusty scab just above his hairline, but otherwise seems okay.
And, when read in context of the post it was commented in (by Sarah Etc.) the following comment makes perfect sense. But when considered out of context, it seems a little bit deflating:
I think you’re conspicuously missing “fantastic.”
Context is good, yes it is.

Deflation was so not the intention! Just wanted to climb on your hyperbole wagon, you know? I use “fantastic” all the time as a synonym for “great” and every time I think, “This is great! But not at all having anything to do with fantasy, in any sense of the word.”
Glad your little one is well.
…aaaaand I conspicuously missed the point! Must remember to, in the future, ruminate more prior to commenting.
@Sarah, etc.: I know you didn’t mean it that way. I just thought it was funny when read out of context. I’m always on the lookout for funny :-)
Glad Lucas is okay. That’s why kids are made out of rubber.
