"Are You Alright?"

An illustration of how important word choice can be-

Bug (3y) somehow hurt himself, is crying, and looking for someone to console him.

Josh (9y) runs up to Bug. Full of empathy he asks, "What happened?" Bug pushes him away.

Papa comes up to Bug, his voice full of concern asking, "What happened?" Bug pushes him away.

I walk up to Bug and ask, "Are you alright?" Bug melts into my arms.
