My 4yo is in a know-it-all phase where every time he asks a question he prefaces by saying “I already know this but can you remind me…” I told him there was a guy named Plato who said we’re born knowing everything and merely rediscover things, and he said “yeah I knew that”

7 broken ribs, lacerated lung, fibula & tibia reduced to a fine powder, one of them came out the side of my leg. But if you could have seen the look on my daughter’s face when I blew by her after giving her a 15 second head start at the top of the mountain, man, it was worth it.
