Out of the mouths of my babes

Me: "So, the real story is not that Grandma slipped on the water coming in the back door."

Madison: "No? Then what happened?"

Me: "Well, she got up and, for some reason, went out onto the back porch where she stepped into a puddle. Water was coming in the back door due to the rainfall we've had for the past two days."

Madison: "Okay?"

Madison: "She wanted to mop that up, and instead of going to get a towel from her multitude of linen closets, she decided to use the towel under the Christmas tree."

Madison: "Oh, Grandma."

Me: "Yep. She pulled the towel, and the Christmas tree toppled over on top of Grandma, knocking her to the floor."

Madison: "At least it wasn't a reindeer."
