Adventures of a Drama Queen: Episode # 129876

Setting the scene: Cayden and Dalton are running through the living room at top speed, as though their hair was on fire. Cayden stubs his toe.

C: AAAAHHHHH! AAAAAAHHHH! (rolls on floor producing blood curdling screams. BLOOD. CURDLING.)

T: Sweetheart, come here (gently prods injured toes)

T: Can you move it?

C: Yes

T: Bend it for me

C: It bends fine (in a completely calm and normal tone of voice)

T: I don't think it is broken.

C: Okay

J: You know son, the intensity of your screaming was completely out of proportion with the severity of your injury

T: Yeah honey, you were screaming like you had just broken an arm

C:……Yeah….. I'm okay with that.
