Nose Dive!

The other day, Scarlett had a little misstep and fell. She was totally fine, but obviously sad about the whole situation. I scooped her up and cheerily said, "Oh, did you take a little nose-dive, sweetie?"

She calmed right down. Nevin looked at me with big blue eyes, very concerned: "But... how... umm... is she gonna be okay?"

Me: "Oh yeah, she's fine. She just hit her head."

Nevin: "But why did her nose die a little bit?"
