Crime Scene?

The details are a little sketchy, but as far as I know:

Some time after Liam came home from school, he went to the bathroom. He was compelled to use some toilet paper. Well, really, a lot of toilet paper. The toilet didn't flush, of course. He's a smart kid, so he knew the plunger might be helpful. He tried it once and then flushed again. Our toilets are not easily managed, so it started overflowing. Rather than call out for Jeff, he ran to the stairs in wet socks, slipped and fell partially up them. Then he called out for Jeff.

Jeff found him and the scene pictured above. Liam's not sure exactly what happened, but his glasses were not broken, and he had a 1+ cm gash next to his left eye. Thankfully, it was next to his eye and not in his eye. Thankfully, his glasses didn't break and go in somewhere important. Liam insisted Jeff wash some of the blood off his face, and then they raced over to clinic.

Liam was a bit freaked out, but did pretty well. Kind Dr Rassbach did a nice job stitching him up and he should be fine. It'd be nice if he'd let me clean it. Anytime he cries it flows right over it, though, so that ought to keep it relatively protected.
