Kryptonite

Elijah Neal is one tough kid. There are very few things that seem to shake him. I've seen him get multiple shots at the doctor's with little more than a whimper. He's bruised himself up pretty bad with only a few seconds of crying before he's ready to play again... regardless of the huge knot on his forehead. He sometimes amazes me with how tough he can be about pain. Sometimes he makes me feel like the baby.

Well, there are two things that are Kryptonite to our Super Squeeze: Head Scratchers and Band-Aids. The former paralyzes our child as he immediately drops to the floor in giggles as soon as it touches his scalp. The latter turns the smallest of scrapes into crippling injuries, resulting in a miserable mess of tears hobbling around the house... even if the bandage is on his elbow.

Now see for yourself:




Unfortunately the Kryptonite of Band-Aids has worn off, but head scratchers maintain their debilitating power.
