bedtime woes

Maddie called out to me some time after we had put her to bed. She came downstairs and proceeded to tell me tearfully that she was really sad. Concerned, I asked her what she was sad about. I had to smother my laughter as she ever so genuinely between sniffles and tears said, "Well, I just can't stop thinking about my barrette that fell down in the toilet a long time ago."

I'm afraid on that day long ago when I flushed that tiny barrette down the toilet I forever traumatized Madeleine.
