They're Not Working

Abigail gets very upset when her things "are not working." If her sock is falling off, it's not working. If she can't zip her coat, it's not working. Today before school, the kids were playing in Abigail's room. When the came running out, Abigail was wearing her fairy wings and Donny was wearing her tutu. She ran past me and returned several seconds later in tears. "They're not working!" I fixed the straps and put them back on her shoulders thinking I helped her. She looked at me with tears in her eyes and said, "I can't fly. They're not working." I was so sad for her, but was able to distract her and she moved on to something else.
