He Lives!

Yesterday during an altercation between Joey and his best friend (and cousin) Mollie he was the victim of a bite on the knee. *As much as I don't promote violence among toddlers, I've got to hand it to the girl as this is definitely payback for lots of hitting that Joey did in his earlier days!* Andrew, an eye witness at the scene of the crime took on the roll of helpful big cousin in comforting Joey as Mollie was removed from the area and I went inside to get ice for the battle wound. Once Mollie rejoined us in the backyard and said her apologies everyone had a popsicle to ease the tension. While eating his popsicle and continuing to examine Joey's injury the ever-insightful Andrew turns to me and says nonchalantly, "I'm glad Joey is still alive." I humbly agreed with him in replying, "Me too buddy." Andrew continued, "Yea, because if he wasn't we'd all be on our way to the hospital." Four year olds can be so profound.
