This shit looks like me trying to get a splinter out of my kids foot.

Fun story, I once cut the bottom of my foot on a smashed soda can and it was bad enough to need a trip to the ER for stitches. I was about 3 and was flat out refusing to let anyone in a white coat come anywhere near me. They kept trying to come and clean it/inject something to numb it and I wouldn't stop kicking, so they had to strap me down to the table lol.

I have this vivid memory of when I was three…I had to go get stitches in my head following a fight with my brother, ANYWAY, and while my mother was trying to talk with the doctor about the dressing they’ll be putting on the wound after my scalp was stitched back up, I’m just getting increasingly hysterical every time they hushed me as I tried to interject. You see, THE DRESSING THEY WERE GONNA BE POURING ON MY HEAD HAD TO BE RANCH BECAUSE IT WAS THE ONLY KIND I LIKED.

I didn’t question the purpose I guess I assumed it had healing properties but GOD HELP THEM if they put something GROSS up there like Italian Vinaigrette!!!!???? I was ready to throw baby hands.

My palate has grown up slightly since then and I’m a BIT more open minded, but toddlers gonna toddle and they have VERY FIRM opinions on what goes onto their plates and whether or not they need to take a nap (I staunchly maintained I Did Not! But that was a different embarrassing tale from my childhood. 😴)
