Anyway, so he warns me and throws it. I raise my hand to catch as per my habit. Usually he is a good thrower, and hence I am a good catcher. But this one was way too high for me. It bounced off my hand, hurting my finger, and went back behind the couch. WTH.

Told son to pick it up. He picked it up, checked it's not broken and proceeds to give it to me. XH is not done here though. He decides to throw it again. Son is looking at both of us, but proceeds to give it to him anyway. This time XH throws it low. Too low. Falls at the edge of the couch and on the floor. My hand got nowhere near it. WTHx2.

Son picks it up again. Good time to either chuck it or open it, one would think. But no again. XH is now even more determined to do it right. I say I won't eat it if it's broken. XH assures it's not broken and proceeds with throw #3. It lands on my hand this time and bounces off on the couch. I grab it with no intention of giving it back this time. He is fine though. Was not a perfect catch but he is happy at the perfect throw.
