That branding iron seat belt thing...sigh. BTDT.
And my kid had a phobia about riding her bike in the street because the tar was soft and it was poisonous and she thought she'd die if she fell off the bike and her tongue fell out of her mouth and touched the tar...
and she thought she'd die if she fell off the bike and her tongue fell out of her mouth and touched the tar...
Don't want to laugh, but that IS funny! Bless her lil heart!
Oh, that was only half of it. Here's how the whole question went, asked in a one-sentence, breathless tone:
"Mom, if I'm riding on my bike or rollerblades and I fall down and my helmut comes off and my face hits the road and the tar on the road is poisonous and my teeth bite my tongue and my tongue falls out of my mouth and the part that's cut by my teeth is touching the road...(long pause to take in air)...will I die?"
