Heart attack

So today at lunch my son, age 5, announced that he was having a heart attack. He was holding his hand to his chest and saying “It hurts so much daddy!” Of course something like this you never take lightly, so we began asking follow up questions.

One of the questions we asked him was if he was having pains up and down his left arm? Thinking we were trying to trick him into the problem being other than his heart, he said “No, it only hurts in my heart.”

He then proceeded to run around telling everyone who would listen that he was having a heart attack, and clutching his chest while doing so.

Most people laughed, some looked slightly shocked, while we sat waiting for him to either collapse from his heart attack or to begin to feel better.

He felt better quickly.

We were glad.
