Lately, since we have spent a lot more time traveling on the train and hanging out in outer-borough playgrounds, I have begun to carry a pretty decently stocked dopp kit full of the things we might need throughout the day: Hand Sanitizer, First-Aid Spray, Band-Aids, Flares, that sort of stuff.
The Lightning McQueen Band-Aids are, without a doubt, his favorite part of the kit.
However, he uses the Band-Aids for decorative purposes as opposed to actual medical need.
For example, I recently found him with 6 Band-Aids fully covering one elbow.
In response to this, I've had to hide the box in the upper reaches of the medicine cabinet.
Nevertheless, he found them.
Lil Sippy Cup: "Dad, are those the Band-Aids?"
Me: "Yes. Yes they are."
Lil Sippy Cup: "Can I have one please?"
Me: "No lil dude. I already explained to you that those are only for when you get really hurt."
Lil Sippy Cup: "Oh. I'm hurt now."
Me: "No you aren't. Band-Aids cover the big scrapes and cuts that bleed."
Lil Sippy Cup: "Oh ok."
Leaves the bathroom.
Lil Sippy Cup (shouting in terror from the hallway): "Mom! Mom! I'm bleeding! I'm bleeding! Aaaaaahhhhhh!"
