The only stitches I’ve had where those where my wisdom teeth used to be.

My sister once fell down the steps and had to get stitches on her lip.

The trick is to puke on him.

The tape holding his bandage on looks like it’s giving us “the finger.”

When I had my knee replacement, I looked at the stiches while my wife, the nurse, was changing the dressing.

It was all red and black and blue and puffy. My remark was, “Well, that looks ugly.” My wife’s reply was, “It looks great! You’re healing well.”

14+ from my last brain surgery…

Seems to be an uncharacteristic attitude from Paige. Maybe she really does love her little brother.

Ah…the watermelon picture.

I cut my foot as a kid and got stitches. I still have a scar. But it’s hard to gross people out with that injury on your foot.

When I was 12, I fell off my bike and landed on my philtrum*. Got 6 stitches outside, 4 inside. I haven’t seen the scar in almost 40 years, as it’s covered by my mustache. I was really lucky though, if I landed half and inch higher, I smash my nose. Half and inch lower and my front teeth are smashed.

*philtrum: the groove that runs from under your nose to the top of your lip. Your vocabulary word of the day kiddies.

Wait!!! Everyone is missing the shocking point here. Not the stitches Jason got, or all of us, which are plenty. Paige just said, “Poor guy.” What’s up with that?

Paige is the sensitive type?
