(Disclaimer: She really didn't get hurt, and it was really hard not to laugh at her.)
After we got home today, the girls were outside playing while I was working on my roses. Both of them had taken their sunglasses outside, but neither were wearing them.
Madelyn ran up the side steps on our porch and continued running on the porch toward the front corner of the house to go around to the front part of the porch. Next thing I knew, she ran straight into the side of the house and bounced off like she was a ball that had been thrown against the wall. She landed on her butt on the porch.
Me: Are you okay?
Madelyn, getting up and starting to walk down to me: Yeah....
Me: What happened?
Madelyn looked like she was getting ready to cry.
Me: Are you sure you're okay?
She started to cry.
Me: Did you get hurt?
Madelyn, rubbing her nose: I hit my nose.
Me, looking at it and not seeing any blood or bruising: Okay, let's go in and get some ice.
I yelled for Alyson and we went inside. Madelyn put ice on her nose (which meant Alyson also needed ice).
Madelyn, calming down: I didn't want the sun in my eyes, so I closed my eyes.
Me: And ran into the house.
Madelyn: Yeah....
Me: Where are your sunglasses that you had outside? Why weren't you wearing them?
Madelyn: I don't know.
We went back outside, Madelyn got her sunglasses, and wore them the rest of the time we were outside.
