February 26, 2009: Kids say..."accidentally"

Setup: I'm preparing dinner in the kitchen. The girls are playing in Ella's room. Suddenly, Melanie is crying. I rush in.

Andy: Ella, can you tell me what happened?
Ella: Daddy... I accidentally bonked Melanie... with my fist.

Follow up: Her description was, in fact, accurate. She wasn't trying to punch her sister. She was trying to lasso Melanie with a necklace at close range.
Unfortunately, this has 3 potential outcomes:
- "too close" ->bonks with fist. (A great Indian name, by the way.)
- "too far away" -> whips face with plastic beads.
- "just right" -> has sister in strangling leash.
