This afternoon at work I got a call from Middle Boy.  Younger Boy had gotten his Halloween costume in the mail.  He proceeded to put it on and scare Sophie with it.  She began chasing him and then he fell on an XBOX remote.  It gashed open his back.

Middle Boy wanted to know what he should do, but he wouldn't quit talking long enough to listen to me tell him.

Finally I got him to listen and told him to get a clean wash cloth (I emphasized clean about TEN TIMES) and to wet it and wash off the cut.

I told him to take a picture of it and text it to me.  I would show you the photo, but it is quite blurry.

I told him to put neosporin on it and bandage it, because it didn't look like it needed stitches.

Prayers for them to be more careful.
