Nosey Kid

Me: innocently sitting in the den minding my own business.
Enter four year old, placing hand, palm up in front of my face
“Here you go”
In her hand is what looks like an extremely tiny nondescript ball.
I reach out and pick it up squinting at it to get a better look.
Then casually ask “Where did you get this?”
She looked me straight in the eye and said “My nose."
Apparently, it’s been too long since I’ve had a preschooler because all those years ago I never would have reached out and taken something unknown from a kid's hand without double-checking what it was first.

Raspberry Break

I'm in my room at the computer.
Enter the 4-year-old, stage left.
She lifts up her shirt and proudly announces "See my tummy!"
Then she points at my tummy and pulls on my shirt.
I obediently lift up my shirt (figuring she won't judge the fact that I am chonkier than I should be) and she leans over and plants a giant raspberry on me and runs out of the room giggling.
I can now return to my regular scheduled typing.

Unsolved Mystery

Me, at my computer trying to finish the latest chapter in my book
 
Large ***THA-WHUMP*** from downstairs
 
Small voice in the distance "uh-oh!"
 
I get up and walk to the wall overlooking downstairs.
 
Same small voice "UH-OH!"
 
Me: "What happened?"
 
Small voice "uh-oh... uh-oh"
 
I head down the hall to the stairs
 
"What happened? What fell over?"
 
4 year old blur scurries past me, shoving me out of the way 
 
"I sorry, I sorry, I SO sorry!" 
 
Blur takes a hard right disappears into her room and slams door.
 
Upon inspection, I could find no sign of anything out of place or disturbed anywhere downstairs
 so as of right now, I have no clue, but figure at some time today I'm going to come across something 
and say "Well Crap".
