Unless your injury was worthy of stitches, or at least more than just a band-aid, I’d be giving no sympathy either. Sorry, Quilly.

Maybe one day I’ll send you the photos of when I almost severed my finger.

I promise never to hit your thumbnail. Don’t believe I’ve ever hit my fingers with a hammer… my nose, sure, but that’s a totally different story.

Betty — I’d already washed with the soap BEFORE the Band-Aid.

Karen — thanks, and he knows better to encourage me.

Nea — I did make a similar suggestion!

Brig — he does know that. He says so all the time. I don’t know how he missed the correlation between my owie and his likelihood of getting dinner.

Juliana — well, he gave me as much sympathy as I offer my students.

Melli — ‘fraid so. And I am glad to have you back!

Brian — you are such a joy.

Dr. John — no smiley face. No sympathy. Woe is me.

Sauerkraut — remind me not to ask you for aid.

Lori — I seldom offer sympathy. I knew before I began my drama what kind of reaction I was likely to get. Sometimes he surprises me, but this cut was so tiny, only a drama queen would have mentioned it.

You and my son should get together because he is the same way.

I think I am not sympathetic because of my mother who would read a paper while smoking and not glance at me even if my arm fell off.

Today alone my son cut himself with a scissors, hit his head on a wall and burned himself on a lamp bulb…I did help him out though because he seemed to be having one of those days.

Thanks for checking in, Quilly!

Not much sympathy there. Does your Band-Aid have a smiley face?

Now that’s funny.

uhm… i don’t think anyone wuld get much sympathy from me if they waved a bloody finger in front of my nose *faint*
perhaps that’s why i never chose to have kids

Awww. Poor Quilly. POOOOOOOOOOOR Quilly. Are you okay? Are you still bleeding?? Is your finger going to fall off? Do you need stitches? Let me get you a bandaid and a chair, in case you get woozy …You’re alright now? Are you sure?? Can I have OC’s supper? Potato salad sounds yummy.

(And for the fact that OC still needs to learn apparently, food ALWAYS tastes better when someone else makes it.)

It does seem that sympathy is in short supply, haha. but then he could at least play something sypathetic on his trumpet……:)

That was great! Very well-written. He could have at least given you a half-hearted “Ouch, that looks like it hurts.” LOL!!
