Maegann: "I don't want to go to bed! I'm scared!"
Mom: "It's late and you need to go to bed. Besides, you're going to be 5 soon, and 5 yr olds aren't ever scared at bedtime. "
Maegann: "I'm not going to be 5" looking very disappointed. "I've stopped growing" starts to cry.
Mom: "You haven't stopped growing, you're going to be 5 on Friday."
Maegann: "But my heart isn't working. I have a broken heart!" sobbing uncontrollably.
Mom: "Your heart is working just fine! See, feel . . ." I put my hand over her hand and put it on her chest. "Do you feel that"
Maegann: nods her head and takes a few sniffles. "am I 5 now?"
Mom: "Not until Friday, a few more days. Now go to bed"
Maegann: shuffles off to bed with her hand over her heart to make sure it's not broken again.
