That is so funny! My kids were the opposite, if they even had a tiny itch they wanted 7 band-aids!

I find it disturbing that the shooting is on youtube. ick!
How funny (not ha ha, but odd) that bandaids scare her. I guess everyone has an irrational fear or two.

Thats so cute! But I guess your daughters fear can get in the way when it comes to you having the bandaid on. 🙂 Love the conversation with your husband funny stuff

Wellllll you do sorta have to give him that he's pretty funny. Potentially sometimes unintentionally, but funny nonetheless.

Bummer on the Band-Aid fear. Fortunately that's one she should outgrow with relatively few scars :) I remember when Little Miss was absolutely freaked out by all animals, which was ... a bit of an issue. We're still working on the bugs thing though!

My daughter is just the opposite. She likes to cover herself in band aids!

Mommy May I is a VERY good blog title :)
So hilarious about the bandaids.
Most kids are crazy about them : )
Sometimes they even ask for them when they are injury free!

The family of Oscar Grant is not happy with the verdict because they feel that their son was murdered. I'm glad that Mehserle was found guilty of something. The whole thing is just weird. It makes no sense to me and I can not wrap my head around it. Mehserle did flee jurisdiction and had to be brought back before the trial. As far as his mental state, he was assessed sane enough to be convicted of involuntary manslaughter.

For the most part the demonstrations ended up being peaceful. What I find really perturbing is that opportunistic anarchist groups take the opportunity to riot and loot. It has nothing to do with really caring about the case or outcome and this is a community that really needs to heal.

Wish you a happy weekend Mami.

There are only two conclusions I can make from the Bart shooting video - that Mehserle made a terrible mistake (as he claims), or that he's a man on the edge of a nervous breakdown. To deliberately shoot someone who poses no threat, in plain view, in a world where cameras abound would be utterly crazy.

I know nothing about this case, other than what I've seen this morning but based on the above, I think the verdict was probably correct. I just hope the public will think likewise. It's bad enough that one young life has been needlessly lost without the threat of more violence.

I'm assuming Mehserle's mental state has been assessed? Here in the UK there would now also be an independent enquiry into the case and police/public relations - hopefully that will be the next step.

This is such a tragic waste of a young life.

The shooting is indeed a very sad story all the way around. I'm on a news ban in my house (while my husband is gone) but I was listening to the radio and heard a whole segment on the event. I'm not going to see the video, but I do hope your town honors the words of the grandfather of the boy who was killed – he says he loves the city and please take care of it by not rioting (or something like that.)

Wow, I haven't heard a thing about that trial here in Salt Lake. However, I am sure that if there was rioting, we'd hear all about it.

Strange about the hurt hand.

I think the band aids are pretty cute, too bad they upset your daughter. I bought some with Spongebob on them for my granddaughter. Have you given her the unopened bandaid to see if she would take off the paper and check out the bandaid?

Your husband is funny… he probably thinks he is hilarious huh! My husband thinks he is soooo funny, mostly I roll my eyes at him.
Your poor little girl. One of mine used to freak out about Band-aids but now I can't get her to stay out of the cabinet. She keeps putting new ones on all the time. Silly kids!

Happy Friday Mami.

I have an odd fear – I am afraid whenever I take a bath/shower in a tub that is not on ground floor, that the tub will fall through the floor to the level below. It doesn't stop me from showering (thank God), but I always think about it..

I'd have to say, bacon band aids are far superior to pickle band aids.

Well, if you watch the video and I don't necessarily recommend that you do, it was not in self defense. The guy that got shot was on the ground, not resisting and being held by two other officers. The officer on trial pulls out his gun and shoots him in the back. His defense is that he thought he was shooting his taser, not his gun. There was no need for a taser either. It is all very tragic and the community is upset because the man who was killed was black and the officer is white and there is a lot of racial tension in the community with the police.

I don't know much about the trial…do they think he did it in self defense or are they glad he was found guilt?
I have irrational fears. I hate that they rent space in my brain.

I think it's good she doesn't like band-aids. My almost step kids are addicted and wear them like sleeve tats. Belly, arms, legs, fingers, and toes. It's a little strange at age 4 and 6! lol.

That is terrible about the happenings in Oakland. Praying for safety and peace. Awful and sad tragedy all around.
