Crashing Down

Mommy upon returning from night school, "Hey Alton, how did it go putting the ornaments on the tree tonight?" Alton nonpulsed, "Good, but I broke my arm." Mommy with alarm quickly rescanning his little body, "Really. How did that happen?" Alton gleefully reports, "I was jumping up up high and I crashed down! But don't worry it is going to be ok."

He was of course correct. The superglue seems to be doing the trick but why do I feel this is more foreshaddowing than I want to admit?
