The Horrible Accident

The other night I was sitting in the office working on homework when Kylee came bursting through the door shouting "Mom, there's been a horrible accident, COME QUICK!"

I knew I hadn't heard any loud bump sounds and I couldn't hear anyone crying, but still the thought of a horrible accident made my heart race like crazy. 

When I got to her room, I wasn't prepared for the site...



Apparently she had some very hurt patients she was nursing back to health. 
When I asked her what had happened she told me the most amazing story about how Buzz's spaceship had crashed landed in her room.  Cannon and Cookie Monster pulled Buzz out of his burning ship and had got hurt helping him.  She had bandaged them all up, using real band-aids. 
I asked her why she had put a band-aid on herself and she said because she got hurt too, but it wasn't very bad. 

I love her little imagination.  Not too happy about the fact that she used up a whole box of band-aids, but did have a great conversation about the difference between pretending and reality.  I told her next time there was a pretend accident she could use pretend band-aids instead and to PLEASE come tell me calmly that there was a PRETEND accident.  Maybe that way my heart won't leap out of my chest next time. 

I'm happy to report everyone has recovered from the accident although Buzz and Cookie are still sporting a few bandages.
