Not bleeding

Like a lot of little kids, The Girl likes wearing band-aids, for the placebo effect: you bump your knee, stub your toe, whatever: a band-aid makes it feel better.

However, despite having a band-aid on nearly every day (the specific location changes day by day), she must not have ever cut herself -- which is kind of interesting, given that she's four years old.

Yesterday she got a paper cut. Today it re-opened, and was bleeding pretty well. Instead of saying “I have a cut”, or “I”m bleeding”-- she said “I’m leaking”.


Which... is true.


Good use of language.
