Chris, my brother, aged four, looked down at us with hesitation, asking in a 48 voice, “Are you sure I’ll land on the blanket?” But because of a problem at 49 with his tongue being a bit attached to the mouth, it came out like this, “Ah you sho awill lan on da blanked?” “Yup!” I told him, “We’re sure!” and he let go.
How 50 he was to trust us! And no matter how 51 we held, Chris fell right 52 that sheet and landed on his stomach. This tiny seventy-pound boy had made a big 53 right in the sheet!
Because he wasn’t moving, we bent down to sense if he was still alive. Slowly, he uttered these five words, “Ah stee hi da flow!”, 54 , “I still hit the floor!” Poor little man!
