10-year-old child: What?
Mother: I just slipped on the kitchen floor!
10yo: Oh.
Mother: That was scary!
10yo: Mm-hmm.
Mother: I almost fell!
10yo: Ok.
Mother: I, like, literally saw my entire life flash before my eyes!
10yo: Oh yeah. And what was that like? Your entire life?
Mother: Mostly me being really cool.
10yo:
Mother: You know...except for just now when I slipped on the kitchen floor.
10yo:
Mother: But mostly, I was awesome.
10yo: I have to go sort my laundry now.
Mother: Someday, you'll appreciate how awesome it was just to witness my awesomeness on an every day basis.
10yo: Whatevers.

10yo seems very impressed.
Wow, 10-yr-olds are a really tough crowd. I'm a little worried about when that age hits around here...
Lol! Yes, she's tough. But she has a twinkle in her eye when she says these things. Which, I dunno, could actually be worse. She's a benevolent snarky smartypants in exactly the same way I'm a benevolent snarky smartypants, so I think I'm in trouble. :-)
