Christmas Present Causality

This morning the kids went outside to ride their scooters. Neil hasn't changed the sprinkler timer so we have a wet sidewalk right now and it started to rain. Samantha and Lyndee freaked out because they saw a big white poodle coming towards them and Sam bit it. Right in the puddle! I wish I could have seen it. She was crying like a banshee when I came running out. I had visions of broken elbows, surgery and recovery, flash backs of when she was 5. But thank goodness it is only a riped shirt and jacket. But she's milking it. "Can someone get me a glass of water, band aid, icepack, candy, blanket, remote, toilet paper to wipe my buns" (ha, ha)
