Kids:
An endless cycle of sunscreen/bug spray/drinks/bath/band-aids/laundry.
I guess there is no way to narrow that down to one step or potion.

Ryan (4): “Mommy, I put my finger in my ear and I hurt my finger. I need a band-aid!”

Jacob
(21 mos) madly tries to communicate what he wants. Then when you get it
and start to do it. He says, “Ok” like “Ok, if you insist.”

Squids
will be Squids is the most entertainingly-biting-for-adults kids book I
have seen. Jr. high teachers, read it to your students. 18 one minute
stories. Scathing against whining and complaining. Hilarious.
