A snippet into my life...

Big: "Mommy!! <Small>'s eating a cotton ball! Make him stop!!"

Me: "Where did he get a cotton ball?"

Big: "I took it off his art! Make him spit it out! I don't want him to die!"

Me: "Did you just swallow a cotton ball, <Small>?"

Small: "Yep!"

Big: "WAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!! Now he has to go to the doctor!!! WAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!"

Me: "<Small>, why did you swallow a cotton ball?"

Small: "Cuz it's funny!"

Big: "He's going to die, mommy!! Why did you eat a cotton ball? It wasn't cotton candy, you know!! WAAAAAAAAHHHHH!"

5 minutes of serious consoling later:

Big: "Do you feel like you're starting to die, <Small>?"
