London, our 5 year old, ran up to me with a sudden urgency. Her pointer finger extended. Of course, I'm thinking something happened to cause her some kind of harm (her drama indicator was on the lower end, so I knew there must not be any blood involved). No tears is also a sign that it must not be too bad, whatever it is.
"Mom! What is this? Smell it!"
I bend down to smell the extended pointed finger. Mistake #1: I'm much more seasoned than this. I should know better.
"Yuck! What did you get into?"
"I just scratched my butt and now it stinks."
Lesson learned: Even though eagerly prompted, under no circumstances are you to smell fingers!
