"Try Not to Fall"

Me, to a sobbing Lizzy: "What's wrong?"
Lizzy, wiping tears from her face and shoving her elbow in my face: "My fell down. Again."
Me, inspecting the two gashes in her elbow: "Lizzy, you've fallen twice in the past ten minutes. Maybe you should take a break from running around and just sit and watch the game for awhile. You won't fall down if you sit here with us."
Lizzy, suddenly done with the dramatic crying: "Nope. My am fine. My will just try not to fall.

To her credit, she did not fall again.
Or if she did, she didn't come crying to me about it.
