Babysitting

Funny faces

I was heading to the bathroom on the second floor of my aunt's house when i saw my cousin, April, on the stairs. April was four and very animated. She was busy making funny faces while sitting on the stairs. I asked her what she was doing. She said, "I'm copying the lady with the braid." I looked around, there was no one else but us. I asked, "where is the lady, April?" She pointed to a beam running parallel to the stairwell. I asked April, "what is the lady doing?" She said, "making funny faces." I smiled and started walking up the stairs again when April said something that stopped me in my tracks. April, "her braids is around her neck." I turned back and ask April to repeat herself. April pointed, "the lady is hanging by her braid...she's making funny faces." Then April started making a face which then I realize was it someone gasping for air.
