    Nothing like a mom's hug and a Band-aid.

      You got that right, Sheila! If only it worked for older kids, too. =)

    Wouldn't it be super fun to take a bunch of small Band-Aids and write a word from the poem on each one? 20 Band-Aids, if I counted correctly . . . put the biggest one of them on the wound and arrange the other ones around it to form the poem!

      What a great idea, Janet! Double the cure: Band-Aids and poetry! =)
