Sharon makes us go sledding. I fall on Claire. Sarah skins her hands, gets up to try to continue, and then faints. Claire starts herself alone on a sled and runs right into a tree. We watch in mortification as she gets unreachably beyond us. Except for Sharon, that is, who tears down heroically after her. Thankfully the limbs brush Claire off before she gets to the trunk. She’s surprised, but unhurt. “That tree knocked me over!”
