Richard: We paid our money and went in. At first we were the only
ones in our group and the Roman (well, actually a volunteer dressed as a Roman) began his spiel about Roman weapons. By this time another kid, a German boy, had joined Harry and the Roman repeated his story and described how the Romans used to fight. I turned away for a few moments and next thing I hear this screaming
Harry: It wasn't my fault. He gave us each a Roman dagger.
Richard: A metal one.
Harry: Yeah. And a shield and said we could play at fighting if we wanted. So we did. It wasn't my fault.
Richard: No, of course it wasn't Harry. He shouldn't have said that.
Jo: Suddenly I recognised Harry's voice and rushed over. Blood was streamimg from his eye and this idiot kept saying - it's alright Harry it's only a cut. Harry was freaking out. So was I.
Richard: It wouldn't stop bleeding. They didn't even have a first aid kit. Can you believe it?
Jo: The young volunteer was distraught. Is there a hospital nearby? I asked. I could see it was going to need stitches. Luckily it was near the bridge of his nose between his eyes.
Richard: God! I thought it was his eye at first. And we'd only been in there a few minutes. What a way to start our beach week at Split.
Harry: The other boy was dressed in a kilt. He was a bit strange. I thought he was Scottish but he said he was a Viking. We were just playing. He didn't mean to hurt me.
Richard: The poor kid was really upset.
Jo: And his parents were mortified.
Richard: They were really lovely. Invited us to come and visit them in Germany. They couldn't have been sorrier. Maybe we should go?
Jo: Imagine that. A kid gets cut by a metal sword and they go snd rinse his eye out in the public fountain. It was crazy. Anyway the young volunteer who was doing his best offered to drive us to the hospital.
Richard: So there we were, Harry hysterical but beginning to calm down and us following along behind the Roman soldier through the cobbled lanes of old Split trying to find his friend's car. He had to borrow his friend's car!
Jo: Which turns out to be so small he suggested that one of us stay behind.
Richard: Of course we weren't about to do that.
Jo: And so we crammed in. No seat belts, no nothing. I'm still not sure if the car was registered. And he delivered us to the emergency department and stayed with us while we negotiated our way through the system
Richard: To cut a long story short, they took him (Harry) in. Wouldn't let us in with him, and put two stitches in.
Harry: And they said I can't go swimming for three days. Till 2:30 Friday. Boring!
Richard: The Roman boy stayed with us all that time.
Jo: From 10:30 until 5:00pm.
Richard: He did his best Jo.
Jo: I know, but how did they let that happen? Surely they can see how dangerous that is.
Harry: Can we go back there? They said I could get in free.
Richard: And do the archery?
Harry: I'll be careful.
Harry: Can we?
Harry: Can I have a special dessert tonight, mum?

They dismiss his importance in this little girl life which is Cheap Air Force Ones ironic because they themselves would do anything,I sure, to have a child of their own naturally. The father is in his legal rights, leave the little one alone. It sad that these two don see how selfish they are behaving, which is not what parents do.
