Reacting On The Fly

(My brother recently took his little four-year-old daughter on the bus with him. She notices that the zipper on the bag he is carrying is open.)

Niece: “Dad, your zipper is open!”

Brother: *panics and leans over to look at his fly*

(Everybody on the bus turns to look at my brother, some glancing down to his jeans as well. My niece notices that my brother’s notebook has fallen out and tries to tell him.)

Niece: “Daaaaad! Your zipper’s open, and now all of your stuff is falling out!”
