Once Bitten

Last week your buddy Dominic decided he'd had enough of you trying to take his toy away. So he bit you smack on the cheek. It bled. You cried. So did Dominic's mommy. I think she felt worse than all of us.

One week later and it's healing nicely. You hardly notice it, what with the two swollen lips you mysteriously got while I wasn't looking and the scrape under your eye from your fingernails that need to be cut and the bruise you got when you tripped and smacked your head into a doorjamb.
