The One Where I Make Art

Madilynn has never been the "graceful" one. When she was about three, she was sitting in an arm chair, all the way back at the back...like, her feet didn't even come to the end of the seat she was so far into that chair. I heard "THWACK-SPLAT!" she started screaming. She had fallen - forcefully - out of a chair that she was practically buried in. As in, this was an impossible thing to do, yet she managed to do it and also be injured. It was actually quite spectacular.

We were getting into the truck this evening and the kids were standing in the parking lot arguing about who got to sit where. I've told them a thousand times to get in, shut the door, THEN argue. But they don't listen. So I was screaming at them to follow the Seat Fighting Rules and Madi finally climbed in and started to shut the door. But she fell out. Right in front of an entire parking lot of parents exiting the same kids' movie we had just left, who were already staring at us because of all the screaming.

Only she didn't fall out in a regular way. Which, really? IS there a regular way to fall out of a parked car???
But if there were, I'm picturing something like this:

 Stop laughing...this is serious art, yo. And her head is totally shaped like that due to the fact that she also has no face. And Ninja Truck does too look like a bulldog/beetle mix.

In reality, the fall was more along these lines:

 

She totally DID TOO grow a face and hair on the way down! Shut UP! She wasn't hurt, but lay spattered on the concrete for dramatic effect, screaming, while the other kids all piled back out of the car to see if she was ok...while the other parents looked uncertain as to whether they should shuffle their kids out of sight or step in and yell at me for something. It was awesome. Really...mind=blown. She really was ok, and she really is a lot prettier in person, but she won't be for long if she can't figure out how to sit without falling violently into the ground.

Stop laughing at my pictures, yo...
