Got a call from Bug today. Here is the transcript of the beginning of the conversation.
Bug: Hello Dr. G, steri strips are one step under stitches, right?
Dr. G: Right. Why?
Bug: No reason, I was just wondering.
Ok, this is not something that one contemplates along with the deep dark mysteries of the universe. In fact, the thought of steri strips usually NEVER crosses a person's mind unless there is a specific injury involving their use.
Upon further questioning ( actually, badgering) it turns out that there was a small need for their use. I insisted on having a picture sent to me to ensure that the damage did not appear to need additional medical attention, and then I let it go.
I wonder if this is specific to certain people, or if our kids do it to us to make us nuts. i know that getting information from Bug can be beyond difficult. to quote someone, I don't know who though the quote is apt here
"He wouldn't tell you your coat was on fire unless you asked him a direct question"
and even then, it usually involves a lot more than one question.
Sheesh

Maybe it's because you're a hysterical, overbearing, overreacting parent who blows everything out of proportion...
or maybe he gets from you, as this post divulges little, other than someone, possibly your son, has an injury requiring steri-strips.
what happened and who "fixed him up" are two particular details that spring to mind.
FBB, is all that really relevant to the point of the post? I think not.
Apples and trees, not necessarily a bad thing.
Yes. It is relevant, because we're reading it so you should give more info instead of teasing about an "occurrence."
Harumph!
