Bandaid.

It was yet another fun filled day for me. My boys club soccer team played my KICS school team. I have been working with both teams, so we organized a game between the two. This is their second time to play each other. Interestingly enough for the last several matches whenever my boys get hurt, bummed, or bruised they often ask for "cream." I am always so confused on exactly what they are asking for. This time I came prepared for any injuries, medical kit and all. So, as predicted one of my boys received a gash to his leg, which shin guards would have protected if he had any. He immediately asked me to put something on it. Usually I have nothing to give them, but this time with my med kit ready I was able to pull out an alcohol pad and a bandaid. Coming from America I just assumed he knew what those things were, so I just started handing them to him. After a few minutes pause I noticed he was still holding the pad and bandaid just blankly staring at them. Long story short, he had no clue was they were nor how to even apply a bandaid. I asked him if he had any clue what it was or how to use it, he just shook his head. We all kind of laughed and then I showed him how.
