Ears And Ears Not Years And Years

(My sister is three years old. A few minutes before she had complained about her ear hurting so our dad gave her a painkiller. Minutes after that, she was still sitting in a chair, looking down with a long face.)

Dad: “Come on now. Don’t be so sad! It’s gonna get better!”

Sister: *suddenly sports a huge smile* “It’s gonna get better?”

(She enthusiastically hops off the chair and goes to play. I guess she thought it would hurt forever!)
