Two of my children are black. Yeah, they like matching bandaids, but there are too darn many shades if brown to find one that comes close to matching! One boy-heavy family I know got Barbie bandaids to keep the boys from using them frivolously.

Are you mad? There’s no possible way you have black children AND post here.

/s tag not needed, adding anyway.

:P

My parents tried that.

I would cover the bandaids with duct tape. Which hurt like heck pulling off.

So Dad started to make me use Iodine before I used a bandage. I hated it, till they had to lance my finger because I had a cut that I never covered up.

I am glad I have girls.

When I was in high school the principal bought a supply of disposable razors. When he noticed a male student in particular need of a shave, he would send him to the restroom with a disposable razor. The number of unshaven faces ballooned, as young men competed to show that they could grow a beard heavy enough that the principal would single them out as being in need of a shave.

So the principal bought a new supply of disposable razors. Pink disposable razors, marketed to women for shaving legs. Rather than catching unshaven students between classes, he would stand at their classroom door, holding up a pink razor, and command the young man to come up and take it, then go to the restroom and shave with it. By the end of the week we had the cleanest shaven public high school in the state, and the pink razors were gathering dust in his office.
