Want your mouth to water?

Saturday I had taken the kids to the park so the house would be nice a quiet for shakes, who is suffring from a cold.

Not five minutes after getting there My five year old comes running to me with blood pooring out of his mouth and screaming like a banshee. This is never a good thing. I calmed him down enough to swallow and open his mouth so I could see what was going on. All I could see was more blood and a ridge of his tounge sticking up out of the blood. Never a good thing X2.

So Packed the kids up and off to urgent care we went, just to find out that tongues dont get stitches unless they are about to fall off. So I took my poor boy home and tucked him into bed with some vanilla ice cream and star wars (the jar jar binks one in case you care)

Here is his tongue the nongorey version. The gorey version has the flaps pulled apart and you can see that the cut is about 1/4 inch deep.

Oh, and guess how he got over his pain- He figured out if he stuck his tongue out at mom with the flaps pulled apart that mom turns a little green and leaves the room quickly. Yeah, that made him laugh. I promise Im not a pansy, I just am hyper sensitive about mouth stuff.
