Cornflower is a color

He said "Yikes!" when he saw the blood. I sat on his toy chest while he stood behind me to examine my cut.

He placed his hands on my shoulders and said "That's pretty bad."

(It was not.)

I told him not to use his special bandaids on me but he insisted. He asked what my favorite color was and I said "blue." In true Crayola form, the closest option was "Cornflower."

His little thumbs spread the bandaid onto my neck.

Ellie asked why it made me cry and I don't have a reason; it's probably some childhood wound that I'd rather not talk about.

Maybe its those little thumbs.
