I like band-aids. They come in so many shapes and sizes. You can also find fun, colorful, and even character band-aids.
When I was younger, I liked putting on band-aids just for fun. The most memorable occasion when was I was about 16. Just put a cute Care Bear band-aid on my hand and caused some fun conversations.
That Care Bear band-aid came from my sister's stash. She also loved putting them on, as did both of my children. Sometimes they'd have a plethora of band-aids covering their body for big, little, and non-existent boo-boos.
Although they're created for a particular purpose, covering wounds, band-aids are useful in other ways too. A sweetly given band-aid can ease any childhood injury, it doesn't have to be open or have blood. It eases pain just in the offering. Sharing a 'fun' band-aid can bring smiles and joy, making someone feel special as well. Wearing silly band-aids can start a conversation.
I like band-aids.
For something quite small, it can do so much.

Strange timing for your bandaid tangent... I had to use one yesterday - it was a Seasame Street one... It made me happy, even though my finger hurt (it was a brutal tape dispenser accident...). I also explained the joy of bandaids. I still like them... and I liked those Care Bear bandaids... and I like you too!
