"Look, a stick!"
Funny story... a friend and I were playing a round at one of our local courses. We were about half way through our round and I had just thrown. My buddy gets to the tee pad and lets it rip. At this course, the next hole comes back towards this hole so sometimes you must let the people on the next hole know if your shot is heading their way. Well, this day, there were three grown men as well as a little guy, prob 5 or so, out with his dad. After my buddy releases his throw, we immediately see it heading their way, so we let them know! All three grown men step back, none grabbing the little boy. Luckily, my buddy's disc hits dirt and slows down a bit, but it still skips up and off of the little guy's back. Both of us feeling bad, let the guys know and make sure the little man is ok. The dad let's us know to not worry about it seeing as how we did notify them of the incoming disc. As wee walk by the group, we see the little boy sniffling, which of course makes us feel bad. Not even a minute after the little man gets hit, we see him stop, pick up a stick, look at his dad, and proclaim "Look, a stick!". His dad looks at us and says, "See, no problem!". And just like that, we know he is ok and are amazed at how quickly the little man got over it, and just by finding a cool looking stick!
