I have a new little gem....
Several days ago, ds2 got ahold of an ink pen, and before I could safely confiscate it, he jabbed it into my belly button, really hard! I'm pretty sure I wet myself, it hurt so much, and I can still taste the foul word that I wasn't able to stop myself from saying!

Anyway, it has hurt all week, and today it was itchy. I scratched the inside a bit, and a big chunk of nasty flaky scab came out!

That's when I realized that the new layer of stench I've been smelling was coming from my poor belly button! I cleaned it out with peroxide and Q-tips, and the foulness was incredible! He did a lot more damage than I'd realized! Now I have it packed full of Golden Salve and a bandaid on top.
I had no idea he'd gouged me that badly. It didn't bleed visibly, and of course I can't actually see in it, or even close! I thought it hurt so bad just because of it already being stretched so much. I'm surprised that I didn't fly around the room like a punctured balloon!
