My belly is wrong!

I had just put my kids to bed and sat down at the computer when my 4yo, A, started crying--and crying, and crying. When I went in to see what was wrong, she sobbed, "My belly! My belly! My belly is wrong."

When I questioned a little more, it turned out that she was upset because a few minutes earlier, she had taken a drink of water and it had "gone down the wrong pipe." So she thought her belly was in the wrong spot. After a reassurance that her belly was still right where it belonged, she settled down just fine.

The conversations you have with young children!
