A terrible turn of events

Today I heard a horrible scream from Eva. I know my kid's various wails and screams and recognised this as resulting from something terrible.

I found Eva on the toilet floor sobbing horribly with tears running down sad face.

What happened I asked, scanning her for blood and missing teeth.

She held her hand up and managed to say with all the anguish of her heart.

"Buttercup fell into the toilet!"

Buttercup* is now clean and recovering.

Other than that, it was a relatively quiet day.
