Telling it Straight

Grace comes up to me while I'm sitting watching TV. She has a plain skin-toned bandaid unwrapped in her hand.

Me:  "Do you need me to put that on for you, sweetie?"

Grace:  "No Mummy, it's for you."

Me:  "Oh! Where should I put it?"

Grace:  "It's for your tummy, Mummy."

I lift up my t-shirt and point randomly to a spot on my abdomen.

Me:  "Shall I put it here?"

Grace shakes her head, and points to a particularly vivid patch of stretch marks.

Grace:  "No Mummy. Here, where the crinkles are."
