when you are 4

sometimes when you are a four year old boy, you fly high on playground equipment. then, your hands might slip and you slam, nose first, into the ground. then, your mama's heart almost stops, your daddy scoops you up and uses his expertise to assess the situation, blood gushes while you weep and spit sand out of your mouth. you go to bed early, falling asleep on the couch at 6:30. you sleep and then act like nothing happened in the morning, even though your nose is slightly crooked, swollen, and purple and you have scrapes on your face. four year old boys are resilient.
