The sky is falling 101?

Child: Mom, would it hurt worse if a knife fell from the sky and hit your stomach or your arm?

Me: Huh?

Child (a little louder): Would it hurt worse if a knife fell from the sky and hit your stomach or your arm?

Me: If knives start falling from the sky, we are going to have worse problems than trying to strategically make them strike us in the most less hurtful places. (Yes, I confused even myself with that one... can you have a "most less hurtful place?")

Child: Huh?

Me: huh?

Child: well I know it will never happen but what would hurt worse.

Me: Your not planning on testing this on your brother are you?

Child: "MOM"! "NO"

Me: ok, well that is good. still not sure how I feel about this conversation.

Child: Me either, I love my brother.

Me: Um, I love your brother too.

Me: think we could practice your spelling words now?

Child: sure.
