As I was picking Eamon up from after-school-care yesterday, he was looking pretty distraught...
Me: "Honey, what's wrong?"
Eamon: <pathetic sniffly voice> "I fell and scraped my knee."
Me: "Oh, well, I see a couple of band-aids on it so I'm sure it will be fine."
Eamon: <really pathetic sniffly voice> "It just hurts so much that <sob!> I think I'm going to have to walk different from now on!" <mild wail>
Me: <looking under multiple band-aids> "Honey, the skin isn't even broken."
Eamon: "Oh."
************Five Minutes Later************
Me: <watching him run around the yard w/ careless abandon> "I see your knee is feeling better?"
Eamon: "Yeah, I took the band-aids off. They were what made it hurt."
Ah, yes, those dangerous pain-inflicting band-aids... ;)
