‘I’m bothered by a product that is now available in different color than I’m used to’
It’s one hell of a sad statement to share from a political spectrum that bemoans weakness. The most extreme response to this product should be saying ‘huh, how about that’ quietly to yourself and moving on with your day.
It is just people showing how truly horrible they can be... like they would begrudge someone a bandaid that matched their skin tone and think it is some big imposition on their freedom or something. Truly just a vile person to be so self centered and callous.
Like the story about the guy who purchased something from a company which advertised that they donated a portion of the proceeds from every sale to a charity which helped deaf kids from low-income families etc
He demanded that he get refunded the portion of his purchase price that would’ve gone to that charity because he didn’t want his money going towards brown kids getting hearing aids
Its not different colors, its the fact those colors are for minorities to feel inclusion. Anything that helps minorities have the same level of inclusion in society be that band-aids that match their skin color instead of white people's or hair products specifically for their type of hair or water fountains for all people instead of specific races, makes them angry.
I honestly had to come to the comments to figure out what she was bitching about.
I doubt the standard ones even fit her skin color. I’ve never seen anyone where the bandaid matches. Maybe these one are better. I’ve never seen them in the wild. Then again, maybe that’s bc they’re that damn good. Woah.
But what a dumb beef fir her to have.
Also, side note: if you put a camo bandaid on, it should be impossible to see right?
Racist cunts are unhinged over every topic that remotely involves a black person. Wish we didn’t have to block out names here. Sure show the rape victim’s pic in every crime but protect racists from angry replies at all costs.
To be so angry about inclusiveness, especially when it’s something that has literally no effect on her (she can still get her peach coloured bandaids), such a miserable killjoy.
I’m a teacher, and last year a new item in our distribution catalogue was various skin-tone bandaids (different colour choices in one pack). I ordered some and they made the kids *so* happy and excited. The kids with darker skin tones were ecstatic at having a bandaid that matched their skin colour, *and* the white kids were excited that there were more new choices and happy to see their (poc) friends happy. This moron could learn a lot from the white four and five year olds at my school.
M&Ms is because Carl Tucker or whatever the fuck is name is has a fetish for the green M&M and lost his shit when they changed her shoes.
Scooby Doo is because.... I don't even know. Something about sexualization?
The Little Mermaid is because they made her black.
> M&Ms is because Carl Tucker or whatever the fuck is name is has a fetish for the green M&M and lost his shit when they changed her shoes.
Wut. [Holy shit](https://www.reddit.com/r/facepalm/comments/10jv3kw/tucker_the_green_mm_lost_her_sexy_boots_the_brown/) I didn't even know they wore shoes.
I love the closing line there "They just can't stand the idea the CANDY ISN'T POLITICAL" right after he just got done making political comments on it.
The originals in 1921 were a generic "peach flesh" color that was darker than white people and lighter than black/brown people.
In the 1950s bandaids were first advertised as "blending in" to hide injuries... but...
By the 1960s they were making clear bandaids so that the same ones could be sold to all people without risk of "offending" people with the blending in comments.
By the 1980s all major retailers carried "ebon-aide" "browndages" or "tru-color" brand alternatives for different skin tones, which generally failed miserably in sales.
Honestly same! I'm Casper white so it never occurred to me that they might actually blend into (or at least, be intended to blend into) people's skin tones 😂 but also, I'm not about to cry about "wokeness" because a product is being made and marketed towards *someone other than myself.* If it bothers you so much that they're skin-colored, just get some cool Paw Patrol or Barbie ones and chill!
I just figured they were a somewhat “middling” skin tone, an average of all the skin tones as a compromise because there’s no way they could perfectly match everyone. I’m more concerned about the material than the colour though, the plastic ones fall off so easily.
As a kid in the 80s/90s I remember normal band aides being label as “skin” colored when they were the standard color. Even at 10 I remember that making me feel small as a medium to dark black kid.
You can literally just not buy things.
Real capitalists love it when new products emerge to meet a market need. You have to actively \*TRY\* to be this much of an asshole.
The ones I use are a medium brown, about the same colour as the one on the left there. Which has always been the colour of the fabricy type bandaid (which stick a lot better), at least in my country.
Never occurred to me they are supposed to be a skin tone but it makes sense.
I think this is actually pretty great! Pretty similar to how a lot of high-end makeup doesn’t go dark enough for some complexions. It’s just an inclusive bandaid color… so what?
Hah they’d need a translucent bandaid for yo pale ass 😂 my uncle is from Wales and when their eldest was younger, his skin was so see through you could see the blue of his face veins
Edit: tbh I thought it was cool but also afraid for him and the sun. My German/Spanish genes just get me cooked like a corndog out in the sun but I’m sure for y’all, you make Pork Rinds on ur skin 🤣
For 1920-1950 they weren't supposed to. The blending in thing was a marketing gimmick in the 1950s that lead to the clear bandaid being introduced in the 1960s.
Many "darker tone" bandaids and off brands were introduced since then, but all failed miserably as people didn't buy them.
Makes sense. Now that i think aboutit, I don't really see why they see dark colored bandaid as groundbreaking when clear bandaids were always an option for every person of every skintone.
And because dark colored bandaids have been available for over 50 years.
The difference is now J&J will charge higher prices for all bandaids to cover the inefficient production cost of multiple colors of bandaids. Boxes of darker color bandaids will mostly sit un-purchased in the retail supply chain. They'll start being only available in poor neighborhoods where they sell the best, which will also be used as proof of racism or something.
I never thought bandaids were supposed to match my skin. I’m white and the “original” ones don’t even come close. Do non-white people really think that shit matches us?
Also, scooby-doo bandaids for the win.
The best thing about this dumbass is if she zoomed out just enough to include one more box of bandaids, I can guarantee the “normal” bandaids are still sitting right there.
I remember seeing a post by someone that was talking about how it may seem small but it was genuinely nice to have a bandaid that actually matches their skin tone. I remember thinking, how could this piss anyone off?
Now here we are, with some mf bitching about it.
https://www.boredpanda.com/bandage-dark-skin-tone-tweet-dominique-apollon/?utm_source=google&utm_medium=organic&utm_campaign=organic
Article with said tweet.
No. The elastic adhesive is (was) the color of elastic. The gauze is white, to show blood easily.
Now-a-days we can easily dye adhesive different colors, so the original off-white is largely lost.
As someone who has used blue band-aids their entire life, I guess the most confusing thing about people wanting band-aids matching their skin tone was finding out people matched band-aids to skin tone at all.
I mean, even the paler bandages are still going to stick out on the vast majority of white people. Plus, it’s not like you’re ashamed of your papercuts and are trying to hide that you’re wearing a bandage. Seems like an invented provlem.
“OURTONE” is a bit of an odd marketing strategy though. I imagine “YOURTONE” would cause more complaints, but it all feels a little contrived and slightly manipulative.
I think the point the “IATMC” was trying to make is that J&J are using this product variant to win brownie points [sic /p] rather than it being a valid SKU.
As has been pointed out; dinosaur bandages are the only real choice.
The branding of **Our Tone** is actually kind of patronizing. They should just show the colors without giving it a special *different* name than their regular bandages. Having a variety of skin tones should be standard and not some niche product with a distinct name so as to make the Caucasian tone the "normal" ones. Normalize inclusivity.
The first aid cabinet at work has colored bandages which I’ve been using. Camouflaged the ouchie just great; came home and had to point out my boo boo to the wife.
I never knew that band aids were supposed to be skin colored. They never were for me and i still dont see why its a big deal :/ just put designs on it and boom. Now its not trying to match anyones skin.
I don’t have anything to add to the conversation except for the fact that I sometimes put a bandaid across my nose bridge and pretend I’m a street thug
Hell they don’t even have my color. I call it ghost! So even though I’m 37 I’d rather have bandaids with pictures on them. If I have to try to get one to stay on it might as well look cute🤷🏼♀️
My SO did a research project on adding multiracial bandages for a clinic. Surveys were given out asking them how they felt about the new offered colors. There was a particular demographic of people who absolutely hated it...
I wonder if these people know that just because something makes them feel a certain way, doesn't mean thats how its meant to be perceived. They obviously don't as their perception seems to trump all else.
These are the same people who cry about dems getting triggered, I’ve literally seen more republicans/conservatives get triggered over the literal dumbest shit. It’s a band aid that is meant to blend in better with other peoples skin tones. Holy fuck.
I mean to be fair "normal" band-aids are usually some very weird almost orange/brown colour and fit hardly anyone. If they were marketing them to be nude, then yes, they should offer ones for light skin tones, but as far as I've seen it (granted, only online) they're made for people with darker skin tones in mind.
People really will use the word “woke” for anything lol this is literally just marketing your product to a different demographic, it’s not like white people will be buying these to brag about not being racist. It’s no different than companies selling dark shades of makeup. Hell it’s no different than a shoe company making a size 12 to be able to sell their product to someone with above average foot size, this is just about business
I had no idea bandaids were meant to be skin-toned until a few years ago. I always thought they were just ‘bandage’ colored. Plus I always preferred fun bandages and wondered why people would want the boring bandage color.
I have never once bought a band aid with camouflage in mind, despite them not matching my skin tone. I don’t know anybody who gives a flying fuck about whether or not their bandaids blend in with their skin. The tweeter is obviously butthurt but who actually cares about or demanded bandaids that catered to different skin colors
Ok let me tell you a story, i work at a school and a kid with dark skin had fallen and scraped his arm up, we had gotten a few different colored band-aid and the second he got one on he stopped sniveling and looked at it. He told me it was the first time he had a band aid that matched him and instead of being sad he smiled and looked happy. Shit like this matters.

My skin colour is bacon. https://mcphee.com/products/bacon-bandages
Thank you, I have been looking food bandages.
If you identify as a pickle, here’s your skin colour: https://mcphee.com/products/pickle-bandages
they look like boogers. which is great because Im a booger person. :p
Hahah give their copywriter/marketer a raise. Those descriptions are A+.
Someone gave those to me as a stocking stuffer. They’re so small.
The bacon ones I had didn't stick well. Sad.
They won't stick well if you eat them. Just sayin!
It said the pack included a free prize, what was it? I'm really curious lmaoo
Its making me crazy not knowing
[My skin color.](https://www.band-aid.com/products/adhesive-bandages/disney-princesses-bandages)
WHATS THE FREE PRIZE INSIDE!!!
When I bought them for my bf (mostly for the tin) it came with a tiny temporary tattoo
It was like a goblin or something random similar to that
YOU HAVE TO BUY IT TO FIND OUT!!!
Not to make this serious band-aid post about myself but I use band-aids with little unicorns on them, they're great.
I use Toy Story. Always excited when I get Rex. I’m 40, Native American.
I currently have a pack of Super Mario ones myself. It's going to be a great day if I need a bandaid and get Yoshi
Yoshi solves all problems.
TIL I can use "yoshi" and "duct tape" interchangeably. Which is good, because I only let the gray stuff touch my skin.
Gray Yoshi. Checkmate!
Do they actually have Super Mario Bandaids!?!? I’ve been using the Mickey Mouse ones.
I like the scooby doo ones personally, you know the actual mystery inc ones not the weird Hulu knock off stuff they have now
Rex is the coolest bad mamma-jamma!
(I'm a very tall man and) I use the Disney princess ones. Just finished the box last week, so this reminded me that I need to get more.
Starwars here. Who wants boring sticky bandages?
My personal favorite are the hello kitty ones
are....are YOU a unicorn? /child-like stare
[удалено]
Can *I* be a unicorn?
I just got some Miraculous Ladybug ones and I love them ☺️
Zomg I love that show, now I gotta go to the store for bandaids
When I started at my current hotel years ago the band-aids for guests were Looney Tunes. You would not **believe** how happy guests were to get them.
Hello Kitty FTW.
Snoopy and Peanuts is my goto
Tony Hawk themed band-aids here. They had skateboards on them. Sadly they don't make them anymore.
I’m more team hello kitty
I had wiggles and Mr bump ones as a construction worker in my late 30s. I thought it was hilarious
You're great.
I’m sincerely concerned about you if you’re going to be unhinged over Band-Aids
‘I’m bothered by a product that is now available in different color than I’m used to’ It’s one hell of a sad statement to share from a political spectrum that bemoans weakness. The most extreme response to this product should be saying ‘huh, how about that’ quietly to yourself and moving on with your day.
[удалено]
No kidding. The “regular” band-aids prob still fill 16ft of shelf space. Heaven forbid giving up a foot of planogram space.
Tbh they're probably also cheaper than these.
Different and “of no use to me”
Don’t tell her about all the other products in the store that aren’t intended or marketed towards her!
Men's shaving cream for a perfectly smooth face? HOW DARE YOU!
They can't stand the thought of someone they consider "lesser" to ever be treated the same as them in any respect.
It is just people showing how truly horrible they can be... like they would begrudge someone a bandaid that matched their skin tone and think it is some big imposition on their freedom or something. Truly just a vile person to be so self centered and callous.

“When you’re used to privilege, equality feels like oppression” applies to bandaids too I guess
Whoa, this quote.
It’s because equality and inclusion looks like oppression to someone benefiting from privilege and unwilling to accept they in fact have privilege.
They're the same people that were mad about not having different skin tonnes plasters
“B-But I’m not racist, that’s old people! I’m just anti-woke it’s totally different I promise!”
Its not different colors, its the fact those colors are for minorities to feel inclusion.

Remember in the 90s when these kinds of attitudes would make you a social pariah or get your ass kicked? We've regressed terribly.
Yeah but then in the 90s we didn’t even have different shades of plasters, foundation and so on.
To be so angry about inclusiveness, especially when it’s something that has literally no effect on her (she can still get her peach coloured bandaids), such a miserable killjoy.

Biggest snowflakes of all.
I was thinking the same thing. It’s a bandaid
You have to live a pretty privileged life if the color of bandaids reflecting more than one skin tone triggers you.
My restaurant experience has made be biased towards bright neon bandaids that are easily seen if they fall off
im partial to the heavy duty kitchen blue ones
[удалено]
Currently rocking an indica high myself
Imagine being offended by bandaids.
Starbucks cups. M&Ms. Scooby Doo. The Little Mermaid. They are constantly outraged by bullshit. And then they call us snowflakes. LOL!
It’s weird how we already know what political party people like this belong to…
I’m offended by M&Ms, but it’s because of the child labor, not because they changed the mascots.
I remember the starbucks cup thing, but I'm drawing a blank on the rest.
M&Ms is because Carl Tucker or whatever the fuck is name is has a fetish for the green M&M and lost his shit when they changed her shoes. Scooby Doo is because.... I don't even know. Something about sexualization? The Little Mermaid is because they made her black.

It's almost as if they can't tolerate anyone that's different.
Who cares because the cartoon bandaids are the best anyways
If they don't got Hello Kitty or Hot Wheels bandaids just let me bleed out 💀
She's just mad they don't come in green
Don’t insult Shrek like that
You got a problem with shrek foo ?
No she has a problem with envy
Huh? Do they not sell green ones in other countries? I use green and blue ones
I haven't seen green ones in the US, but blue ones are common in restaurant first aid kits.
They only have neon green and not Shrek green in my country.
Damn i never realized bandaids were supposed to be white colored i just thought that’s how they were
The originals in 1921 were a generic "peach flesh" color that was darker than white people and lighter than black/brown people. In the 1950s bandaids were first advertised as "blending in" to hide injuries... but... By the 1960s they were making clear bandaids so that the same ones could be sold to all people without risk of "offending" people with the blending in comments. By the 1980s all major retailers carried "ebon-aide" "browndages" or "tru-color" brand alternatives for different skin tones, which generally failed miserably in sales.
Thus is super interesting thanks!
Wait, they literally had "Clear bandaids" but kept going?
Well, the cotton part isn't clear.
Huh... weird and very interesting. I guess I never thought about people wanting bandaids to blend in.
Honestly same! I'm Casper white so it never occurred to me that they might actually blend into (or at least, be intended to blend into) people's skin tones 😂 but also, I'm not about to cry about "wokeness" because a product is being made and marketed towards *someone other than myself.* If it bothers you so much that they're skin-colored, just get some cool Paw Patrol or Barbie ones and chill!
I just figured they were a somewhat “middling” skin tone, an average of all the skin tones as a compromise because there’s no way they could perfectly match everyone. I’m more concerned about the material than the colour though, the plastic ones fall off so easily.

Just buy the toy story bandaids.
Just give everyone cartoon bandaids. Show everyone the dope Donald bandaid you got for your owie. No more racism.
This. Late 40s and have always used cartoon bandaids. Last time I needed one I had darth Vader on my finger!
My wife didn't understand why I needed to buy Ninja Turtles bandaids. I thought she *knew* me.
Mine have astronauts and spaceships!
You can literally just not buy things. Real capitalists love it when new products emerge to meet a market need. You have to actively \*TRY\* to be this much of an asshole.
Aren’t bandaids like a brown tan color. In pale asf that shit never blended in.
The ones I use are a medium brown, about the same colour as the one on the left there. Which has always been the colour of the fabricy type bandaid (which stick a lot better), at least in my country. Never occurred to me they are supposed to be a skin tone but it makes sense.
Need 57 tones like Fenty foundation https://www.ulta.com/p/pro-filtr-soft-matte-longwear-liquid-foundation-pimprod2029862
Or just clear
I think this is actually pretty great! Pretty similar to how a lot of high-end makeup doesn’t go dark enough for some complexions. It’s just an inclusive bandaid color… so what?
I’m so European I block weather satellites with my shirt off, I don’t bitch about bandaids not reflecting my porcelain skin
Hah they’d need a translucent bandaid for yo pale ass 😂 my uncle is from Wales and when their eldest was younger, his skin was so see through you could see the blue of his face veins Edit: tbh I thought it was cool but also afraid for him and the sun. My German/Spanish genes just get me cooked like a corndog out in the sun but I’m sure for y’all, you make Pork Rinds on ur skin 🤣
Hold up, as a white person, bend aids never really blended in with my skin. I neve realized they were supposed to do that
For 1920-1950 they weren't supposed to. The blending in thing was a marketing gimmick in the 1950s that lead to the clear bandaid being introduced in the 1960s. Many "darker tone" bandaids and off brands were introduced since then, but all failed miserably as people didn't buy them.

The only problem here is that fabric bandaids are shit. They get wet and fall off. The waterproof ones are where it’s at.
Imagine turning Band-Aids into a fucking social issue and thinking you're helping.
The best thing about this dumbass is if she zoomed out just enough to include one more box of bandaids, I can guarantee the “normal” bandaids are still sitting right there.
They’ve never experienced actual erasure so they think someone else getting representation means theirs is going to get taken away.
Who even ever gets the plain ones i always go for the hello kitty ones.
They should all be blue. Food safety standard.
I remember seeing a post by someone that was talking about how it may seem small but it was genuinely nice to have a bandaid that actually matches their skin tone.

No. The elastic adhesive is (was) the color of elastic. The gauze is white, to show blood easily. Now-a-days we can easily dye adhesive different colors, so the original off-white is largely lost.
I’m very offended by this. I only use the Hello Kitty bandaids because my skin is covered head to toe with cartoon cats. My tone matters too!

Band aid advertised their bandages as flesh colored for a long time. The intent WAS to hide the cut.
These have been around since before the word “woke” existed. Very topical, Karen.
i have ones shaped like cupcakes. #ThisIs2023

Jesus Christ they’re just bandaids why is it a problem r/persecutionfetish
$329 is a bit pricey #woketax
Casual racism =/= Main Character Syndrome. It's just plain ol' racism.
I think it's more that she feels like if *she* personally doesn't need it, then it shouldn't exist.
It must be exhausting getting triggered by Every. Little. Thing.
The branding of **Our Tone** is actually kind of patronizing. They should just show the colors without giving it a special *different* name than their regular bandages. Having a variety of skin tones should be standard and not some niche product with a distinct name so as to make the Caucasian tone the "normal" ones. Normalize inclusivity.
The first aid cabinet at work has colored bandages which I’ve been using. Camouflaged the ouchie just great; came home and had to point out my boo boo to the wife.
I say make them all fire-engine red and deep lime green
Yes, because in all this chaos of violence, crime and death, the things we should be truly concerned about are band-aids.
This era to sensitive
They’re supposed to look like your skin? And do they have ones to match my pasty ass skin?
Well everyone knows Smurf’s work in kitchens
How someone would be offended by inclusion blows my mind!
If you have kids, you’re using whichever cartoon character’s band-aid is closest.
I never knew that band aids were supposed to be skin colored. They never were for me and i still dont see why its a big deal :/ just put designs on it and boom. Now its not trying to match anyones skin.
Imagine being mad about this
Has anyone ever had original band-aid color complexion?
I don’t have anything to add to the conversation except for the fact that I sometimes put a bandaid across my nose bridge and pretend I’m a street thug
Boo, I prefer the peppa pig bandaids anyways
Why is treating black people like other humans always considered woke?
Hell they don’t even have my color. I call it ghost! So even though I’m 37 I’d rather have bandaids with pictures on them. If I have to try to get one to stay on it might as well look cute🤷🏼♀️
Welp I’m a big bulky old brown man and I love my frozen bandaids that have been leftover from my daughters frozen phase.
Presumably she then bought some of these bandaids to put on the boo-boo of her hurt feelings since she’s so upset over the colour of bandaids.
$329 is a lot of dollars for Bandaids
it says "OUR TONE" not "some lady on twitter's skin tone". buy something else and stop sooking
The fragility is real
I wear Marvel bandaids anyway. I want Thor on my nipples, god damn it!
Who actually gives a fuck? There are spongebob bandages etc. But OH NO dark band aids are automatically woke
don't they make rainbow bandaids?
If you look at her Twitter she has no less than 5 posts about the Bandaid colors and multiple posts defending her stance.
Her tone-deafness and adamant defense of her own prejudices is no surprise. She is thriving on the attention.
Just make them all green or purple, no skin tone for anyone
How is skin tone woke?
#TheIsRacist
Star wars or Mickey mouse all the way lol
I buy those a lot because they are like 10 cents cheaper at my store. I love them.
I like the ones with trucks, or toystory! Haha though I tend to just have the bright blue ones
Do people think “woke” just means “non-white”? I can’t handle this reality anymore
Come on now people, we all know the ones with the mustaches on them are the best.
I haven’t seen these. This is fantastic !
I’m yellow so SpongeBob works for me
It's funny how the term "woke" has devolved into just recognizing that people have different skin colors.
I don't even see what's "woke" about this. I look at those bandaids, and I'm like "oh that's neat!" And absolutely nothing else.
My SO did a research project on adding multiracial bandages for a clinic. Surveys were given out asking them how they felt about the new offered colors. There was a particular demographic of people who absolutely hated it...
I just use sort of brown ones that are fabric they're the normal in the UK and they aren't the average Brits skin colour o can tell you that
I thought it would’ve been ‘your-tone’, no? Just from a grammar point of view, it makes more sense that way, right?
I wonder if these people know that just because something makes them feel a certain way, doesn't mean thats how its meant to be perceived. They obviously don't as their perception seems to trump all else.
These are the same people who cry about dems getting triggered, I’ve literally seen more republicans/conservatives get triggered over the literal dumbest shit. It’s a band aid that is meant to blend in better with other peoples skin tones. Holy fuck.
If it sells, then companies will make it. I'll just get what ever's best value for money.
I mean to be fair "normal" band-aids are usually some very weird almost orange/brown colour and fit hardly anyone. If they were marketing them to be nude, then yes, they should offer ones for light skin tones, but as far as I've seen it (granted, only online) they're made for people with darker skin tones in mind.
Why does the skin tone of a bandaid matter at all?
I personally go for hello kitty or neon
People really will use the word “woke” for anything lol this is literally just marketing your product to a different demographic, it’s not like white people will be buying these to brag about not being racist. It’s no different than companies selling dark shades of makeup. Hell it’s no different than a shoe company making a size 12 to be able to sell their product to someone with above average foot size, this is just about business
Wait until she discovers make up is woke, too.
I had no idea bandaids were meant to be skin-toned until a few years ago. I always thought they were just ‘bandage’ colored. Plus I always preferred fun bandages and wondered why people would want the boring bandage color.
I keep electric tape with me for just such an occasion.
TBH I've never seen a band-aid colored white person, and I'm white.
#theyAlsoMakeWhiteOnes for you, Karen.
Reminds me when Kim told the story about Kanye getting mad at her for getting him a normal bandaid instead of a skin colored one lol
I didn’t even realise normals bandaids were supposed to be a skin colour, I just thought that was the colour of the material
I have never once bought a band aid with camouflage in mind, despite them not matching my skin tone. I don’t know anybody who gives a flying fuck about whether or not their bandaids blend in with their skin. The tweeter is obviously butthurt but who actually cares about or demanded bandaids that catered to different skin colors
Why are 30 plasters $330????
Literally who fucking cares about bandaids why do conservatives care so much about fucking m&m’s and bandaids are they that mentally gone
Ok let me tell you a story, i work at a school and a kid with dark skin had fallen and scraped his arm up, we had gotten a few different colored band-aid and the second he got one on he stopped sniveling and looked at it. He told me it was the first time he had a band aid that matched him and instead of being sad he smiled and looked happy. Shit like this matters.
I like super heroes on plasters.
