Buy band-aids for grown-ups so that the next time you grate a sizeable chunk of the skin of your knuckle into your salad along with the reggiano, you won't have to go to work the next day sporting Spiderman or Scooby Doo on your finger.
Keep in mind that most of the advice that you give the kidlet--"that microplane grater is really sharp," for example--goes for you, too.
I always liked wearing the fun band aids to work. For me it especially wierd when they were real girly girl styles. I think I liked the connection with having fun and enjoying life like kids do. Now my girls are growing up and they have grown out of the fun cartoon character band aids. I think I'll go buy a box of cartoon band aids and replace all the regular plain ones :)

The Dinner Party:
"Oh, what a wonderful salad!", said the dinner guest. "And, there is this curious taste, do tell what your secret is!"
Never, thought Hannibal as he slyly tucked his Spidey-bandaged fingers into his smoking jacket pocket. He anticipated dessert would be a big hit as well, the made-from-scratch cream pie with its colorful flecks of red-stained coconut dusted across the luscious whipped creamed topping, certainly worth the extra effort and flesh...
For real, sorry you're wounded. Mom's should know better, huh?
