Transcript:
Petey: Alice! Your knee is bloody! Alice: I told you that. Petey: Bl-Bl-Oogh-Guh. Alice: Hey. Mom: Alice? What-which one of you needs help? Alice: I was first in line, but you can stat with Petey.
Can’t make self shut up about grandkids: My “Alice,” when I asked her whether she’d had a good day at school yesterday, said, “Not at ALL!” It seemed that they were allowed only one minute to eat, and at recess a boy pushed her down and she skinned something. Later she said it was her arm, but she couldn’t find the injury or remember which arm.
I’ve never had a problem with blood, ever, but when my 5 y.o. daughter had to have a mole removed she was the one who was calm and fine and it was mom who got woosy when I realized “They’re cutting into and taking a CHUNK out of my BABY.”.My 6’4" dad on the other hand could barely handle my cuts and scrapes when I was a kid. And still can’t stand to have blood drawn to this day.
Update on our “Alice”: Today she managed to fall down and get a pinkish red blotch on her right cheek and side of her nose, as well as skinning a knee and getting a Band-aid from the school nurse. She is in fine spirits, though. Doubt her knee scratch would have taken down Petey.
When I was a mom (back in the 60s) I finally discovered the wonder of butterfly bandages (after proper cleansing) and never dealt with emergency rooms again (worst thing for parents).!

I think Petey should stay away from anything in the medical or even dental profession, marg.
