When Little Boys Get Blisters

These Things Are Never As Simple As They Seem

Son No. 2 got a blister and god forbid it's as simple as putting on a band-aid and being done with it.  Also, my patience only lasts so long.

Honey, how did you get that blister? Does it hurt?

Don’t touch it mummmmmmmmmmmmy!

I’m just going to look sweetie pie, I promise I won’t touch it.

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!

Honey, I need to put a band-aid on it so it doesn’t get worse.

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo mummmmmmmmyyyyyyyyyy!!!!!!! I said nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!

We have Sponge Bob band-aids, let me go get one.

What happens if there are no band-aids mummy?

There are sweetie, they’re in the cupboard downstairs.

But what if there are none?

Sweetie, they're in the cupboard. We used them yesterday. The band-aids are there.

But what if there are none?

*Sigh* then we would go to the store and buy more, honeybunch.

But what if there are none at the store?

There are always some at the store.

But what if they’re out?

We’d go to a different store.

But what if that store is out?

Then we'd go to another different store, snookums.

But what if that store is out?

There will always be a store that has band-aids.

But what if no stores in the world had them?

For crying out.......Then I’d make them.

With what?

What do you mean with what?

What would you make them from?

Stuff

What stuff?

Dead puppies.

Huh?

Exactly.
