Accidentally Closed It

So I was in the kitchen with Dad and Lilly. Ben and Emma were on the (enclosed) porch. We heard strange screaming coming from there, so I went to investigate. This is what I saw:

Emma was lying on the couch, screaming/laughing. Ben was kneeling on the floor next to the couch, and his face was near her feet. She screamed, "He's biting my toes!"

Ben quickly denied this. It was an accident, he said.

HOW CAN THAT BE AN ACCIDENT???

His explanation?

"I was pretending to bite her toes, and she started kicking, and then her toe got stuck in my mouth and I accidentally closed it.

Accidentally closed it.

Sad thing is...it's probably true. He's not one to lie, and...I believe him.
