Alright, so "mishap" is kind of like when something unexpected or unfortunate happens. It's like when you're walking and you accidentally trip over a rock or spill your drink - those are mishaps. It's when something goes wrong by accident, but it's usually not a really serious or dangerous thing, just a little whoopsie. And the cool thing about the word "mishap" is that it can be used to talk about all sorts of small accidents or mistakes that happen to people, like dropping your phone and cracking the screen, or forgetting your homework at home. So, when something doesn't go as planned and it's not a really big deal, we can call it a "mishap".

So, if you accidentally spill your juice at the lunch table, that's a mishap. Or if you trip over your shoelaces and fall, that's also a mishap. It's basically just a little hiccup or snag in your day that wasn't supposed to happen, but it's not the end of the world. Just something we learn from and laugh about later. Got it?
