There is a piece of wood working its way out of B's face. It's bigger than a splinter but must have been pretty deep if I didn't see it when I was cleaning his wound last week...

Memories of Halloween 1976...
Someone's brother tripped on the hem of his (pillowcase) ghost costume and skidded down the driveway leaving behind a considerable amount of his face embedded in the cement.
While the mother was trying to soothe the screaming toddler, someone asked if she could switch ghost costumes with her brother because his had REAL BLOOD on it...
Ooooo, NICE parable MGB! Can one perhaps hear those two someones' mother cackling "Vengeance is mine" ??? I've heard the term "V's Revenge" used liberally re 4-year old L, a wunderkind of my personal acquaintance, usually after she has driven her mother C particulary crazy with some stunt or another. The latest example was when little L threw a massive tantrum, the result of which was she gave herself an equally massive headache. She then demanded some of her daddy's migraine/epilepsy medicine to alleviate the pain of her seizure. C is offering said 4-year-old for auction ...
