Stassi Schroeder suffered a bloody lip this Christmas at the hands of her toddler during an impromptu Wicked performance.

But don't worry, it's not as dramatic as I've purposefully written it out to be.
A video of the incident was captured by Stassi's husband, Beau Clark, and shared to his Instagram. The video was uploaded yesterday (which was my birthday, dear reader, not that you bothered to get me anything), although it was likely recorded on Christmas day.
Stassi and her daughter, 3-year-old Hartford, were playing with a toy witch's broom, which would have been perfect for a holiday that had already passed. Wicked's "Defying Gravity" was playing in the background, and they were playing together and reenacting the moment from the musical-turned-film.
Unfortunately, Stassi leaned in just as Hartford happened to move the broom forward, and it struck her lip. It was only a small cut but bled to form a red trail from her lip to her chin.
Hartford jumped into emergency mode, asking her mom if she was "okay."
The toddler adorably fussed over her mother. She ran away to get a napkin and made sure to hold it to her mom's fatal injury. Her proactive and empathic response is impressive and cute, something that delighted everyone who viewed it.

That's an original pun I made up just now.
Stassi kept asking her husband if the hit was as bad as her daughter was making it out to be. He asked her whether it hurt due to her "fake chin." Although she admitted the impact hurt, it seems her pain was minimal.
Thank goodness.
She took to the comments to elaborate, writing, "But yes, that side of my chin has always been numb ever since the chin implant lol."
The comments were also populated by fans enamored by Hartford's dutiful response.
"So help me, this is the sweetest thing I've ever seen. The apologizing. The, "I'll get you a napkin." Adorable," one wrote.
"The "I'm so sorry" made me melt ? 100/10 parenting you two ??," rated another fan.
"Omg ? the way she says "I so sorry" while holding the napkin on Stassi's face is the sweetest?," commented one more.
