The Band Aid - take two

When I got home from work tonight, Gillian walked up to me and said "Hi Mom." She had a sad face and kept looking down at her feet. She said "I got band-dids." And there were two band aids on her knees. I asked her what happened. She explained "I was walking silly then I fell down then I get band-dids. Look I got Cinderella and Donald. That's silly!" On one knee she had a Cinderella band aid and on the other knee she had a Donald Duck. 

Daddy explained to me later what actually happened. Gillian and John were walking silly down the sidewalk at school. The sidewalk at school is a little hill and I get worried when they walk down the path let alone when they are being silly. Daddy said they were walking with their knees out and that he told them to stop. Well Gillian didn't listen. She fell and scraped her knees. She cried in the car for a few minutes and got distracted by a few good songs on the radio. When they arrived home, Daddy sent the kids downstairs to play. They played for a little bit and then John decided to play Legos. That's when Gillian remembered that she had a boo-boo and she asked Daddy for a band aid. That's also when I walked in the door. I guess she really got hurt. 

The boo-boo

At dinner tonight, Gillian says "I got a boo-boo today!" She picked up her foot and showed John and I her bandaid. We asked her what happened. She said "I was riding a bike and fell. Then Miss Margaret saved the day! She give me bandaid!" John and I were a little confused. We asked her what happened, and how did she fall. She responded in typical Gillian fashion, "I know!" When she says that she means I don't know. John and I giggled. She then started to tell us that she was riding a bike and Miss Patty knocked her over. Again, not a likely scenario. I will have Daddy talk to Miss Margaret tomorrow to find out what actually happened.
