That perspective thing

Luca fell in the school yard.
It was sore.
Sore enough to demand the application of a plaster.
The application of a plaster does not reduce the amount of pain.
Not per se.
But it provides a welcome distraction.

The removal of the plaster by a no nonsense Mum on the other hand...
Puts the pain of the graze into perspective.

I think that we can expect welcome savings on plasters in years to come.

Yes, we are monsters.
