Abbie came home from school yesterday with a bruise on the back of her leg and a slightly swollen lip. The hubby asked her what happened and she said she fell off of a tire swing at school. Abbie has absolutely no fear of heights or speed or really anything you would find on a playground, so this sounded par for the course.
Later that night though I noticed a bruise under her chin.
Me: Abbie, you have a bruise under your chin.
Abbie: Okay.
Me: Well, what happened?
Abbie: I got hit.
Me: You got hit? By what?
Abbie: Um....
Me: Abbie, who or what hit you?
Abbie: The ground.
Me: Oh, I see. The ground came up and hit you in the face?
Abbie: Yeah.
Me: I hate when that happens.
Abbie: Me too.
Love the conversation! At least she's not a skiddish child!
