I am from a family of 11 kids...and whenever anyone of us was hurt/sick or whatever, we would go running to her and cry out with "mommy, look I fell down and got a booboo on my hand". My mother would look at us and say "shhhh, don't tell everyone or they'll ALL want one!" I didn't get it until I too had kids of my own and realized that sympathy given to one child is equal to an entire hour of listening to the woes of the other kids. Now, I too, use that phrase. Oh and the other fave: "put a hot compress on it" That works great!Kathleenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13769414354990163759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4837039699988581918.post-10985174347246249232010-08-12T22:27:38.241-04:002010-08-12T22:27:38.241-04:00My childhood was the exact opposite.

And I will use that cheerily on my mother. <br /><br />And often.<br /><br />xo<br />Aathenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07940979696547291935noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4837039699988581918.post-40733552473224686092010-08-12T11:01:14.364-04:002010-08-12T11:01:14.364-04:00Brilliant!
