Papercut

My kids often come to me with little cuts or bruises.
I think they expect me to freak out and coddle them or something.

Instead, I smile and say
"It'll be fine."
"Just don't scratch at it and it won't get worse."


Today, I added
"You know our body has a marvellous way of making magic - it heals itself!"


Lessons for life, no?
Yet... I appeal to the Great Healer.
