Wounds

DS Tanay fell down and got his knees scraped for the first time ever. The only way to calm him down was to tell the stories of mommy and papa when they were little. So I told him that they fell down too and sure it was ok. That wounds heal if we help them a little like putting Band-aid or putting neosporin. (Ofcourse when mommy and papa were as young as Tanay they never had Band-aid or neosporin but had Dettol/Burnol + cotton ball and sticky tape). Then I told him that little mommy and little papa were back running. And that's the way to grow up. That's the way to get stronger. He agreed and calmed down. He was excited and was showing his muscles as if the wounds on his knees made the muscles on his arms grow! :)
While I was telling the stories to him I re-learnt this: Wounds are inevitable but if we help them heal fast that's the way to live and grow stronger. My ds is my teacher now.
