Monkey bars vs. "Crutch"

Chloe: (out of breath) Teacher! Landon fell on the monkey bars and hit his “crutch” and now he’s crying.

I follow Chloe, who helps me find Landon, weakly sitting on the blacktop with a tear stained face. I check on him to see if he is okay.

Chloe: One time, I fell off the monkey bars and hit my “crutch”, too. It hurt for a little bit, but then I forgot about it really fast.

Me: Well, sweetheart, the pain is a little different for boys than it is for girls.

Chloe: (shrugs her shoulders) Oh, okay! (runs off to play)
