Getting the wind knocked out of you

The kids were running around in the basement, and lately DeeAnn thinks it's funny to stick her arms out while she and others are running full speed. Odan's chest was the victim of a pretty hard slap and he came upstairs hysterically upset. Like, really upset. Not only from being hit, but that anyone, let alone his sister, would intentionally harm him like that.

He was saying his chest was hurting, complaining of not being able to breath...

M: "Oh, Odan, I'm sorry. Did you get the wind knocked out of you?"

O: "What?"

M: "Sometimes when you hit your chest too hard, and it's hard to breath, that's called 'getting the wind knocked out of you'."

O: "Oh. I can just get some more tomorrow."

M: "More what?"

O: "Wind!" (as he pats his chest)
