Rayna's serious injury... Yesterday the two girls and I were having lunch with Aunt Ruth and Jean at a local Chinese restaurant. Jean had her leg in an enormous brace contraption (maybe an air cast?)…anyway, that caught Rayna’s eye immediately and she asked Jean why she had that on her leg. Jean replied something to the effect, “Because I was stupid enough to miss a step and I sprained my ankle.” Rayna silently considered this as she ate her noodles. About ten minutes later, through eating and bored, she hopped up from her chair and proceeded to race up and down the little set of steps right next to our table that led to the lower level seating (only two steps). Then, with a glimmer in her eye, she faked a fall and called out dramatically (loud enough to be heard throughout the entire restaurant), “Oh! I hurt my ankle! I think I am going to DIE!!!” Blindsided by humorous sarcasm from a three year old! (You have to understand, this cousin, Jean, and Aunt Ruth really dish out the zingers and love to torment Darcy and Rayna….but, still, it floored me to see the three year old zing my cousin-in-law back so deftly!)
