Band Aid Addiction

My little Ms. Morgan has an addiction - to Band Aids! To her band aids cure anything and everything wrong with you - I guess it doesn't hurt that they have extra special designs and patterns (plain band aids will not do).  This morning she came in (VERY EARLY) - 

(m) mama.... mama... my pinky finger itches.  

(me) huh.... 

(m) my pinky finger - it itches real bad.

(me) well... just scratch it.

(m) NO..... I need a band aid.

(me)  just go get them out of the cabinet. (yes I was still asleep and therefore had my lazy mommy moment)

(m) ok..

followed by cabinet door opening, and many (I mean many) band aid packaging sounds.  After she was done she crawled into bed. No less than 1 minute later - "mama, my finger STILL itches".

I started to explain that it still itched because band aids, as much as we might want them to, do not actually cure itching.  Then, I looked at her finger - holy band aids batman! She had bandaged herself with at least six band aids on one pinky finger - the entirety of her finger - so much so that it looked like she had a cast on for a broken appendage. 

Our next step (other than giving in to the fact that it was time to wake up) was to remove all the band aids and then commence scratching her finger.  I guess next time I should just bite the bullet and wake up! :-)
