i don't think marty will ever be accused of over-protecting or mollycoddling her children. and for as much slack as she leaves in the line, the woman has yet to have had to rush one to a hospital. granted there have been a few moments where i though it might be in order but when i asked marty about it, her typical response was "just rub it" or "that one might need a band-aid". she would then turn to me and my horrified expression and say beneath her breath, "poker face dearmitt - poker face."

in the name of full disclosure, alex did once require emergency dental care after a head-on crash with another biker. in that scenario he lost one tooth in the chair of a deserted dentist office at 8pm. the second tooth he lost that night was still somewhere on the playground where the collision took place.
