Gleek tells a story

In a fit of electronic organization I was sorting through the My Documents folder on my computer. True to most organization projects I discovered lots of garbage that could be pitched. Also true to most organization projects I uncovered one completely forgotten treasure. I wrote it down two years ago during the April when Gleek was four years old:

Gleek: “Oh! Do you remember that time when Kiki was running in the family room and fell down and broke her head off?”

Me (confused): “What?”

Gleek: “Kiki was running around and fell and broke her head off and you had to take her to the hospital and they sewed it.” A pause for thought “Did you carry her head for her?”

At this point I realized that Gleek was retelling the story of Kiki’s Stitches as she remembered it. The real event was not nearly so exciting as Gleek’s version. Kiki had three little stitches on her forehead from which she has a small white scar.

It made me laugh out loud when I read it, so I wanted to share.
