Gil and Arlene my grandson fell off of his bike last week and had to go to emergency to get stitches also. He is 13. The Doctor told him that he was going to do a really good job so that there wouldn't be a scar. My grandson said "but I want a scar" I had another grandson who had to have a kidney removed. He is 8. He begged the Doctor to let him take it to school for show and tell. The Doctor convinced him to take a picture.
Taking the kidney to school! Now There's a Great Kid!
I once took a brain to school (OK - No wisecracks!) - from a rat - put it in a bottle & took it in my pocket. Showed it around - I wasn't very popular that day. I kept it on my dresser for awhile. It was given to me by a 13 yr old girl that I had somewhat of a crush on.
