Those two, it’s been ever so and only gotten sharper as their education and experiences grew. She asks about kitchen items.</span></span><br/><br/><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: times new roman;"><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 13pt;">  “You know what I have in your kitchen Circe. Make up a shopping list and I’ll run to the corner for supplies. Do we need anything more to play this game or lubricate the players or to pry that book open? I do have a claw hammer somewhere!”</span></span><br/><br/><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: times new roman;"><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 13pt;">Before she can reply, Mikey tries the book clasp again and manages to gouge his finger. Yep, blood on the book! I grab several tissues from the box on the side table and reach for his arm to pull his hand out of his mouth.</span></span><br/><br/><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: times new roman;"><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 13pt;">  “Mikey, let me see that. Circe, first aid supplies second drawer down in the stack next to the refrigerator. Antibiotic too. Cold compress in the refrigerator door if he gets light headed.”</span></span><br/><br/><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: times new roman;"><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 13pt;">Get the tissue wrapped around his thumb.</span></span><br/><br/><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: times new roman;"><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 13pt;">  “Have you had a tetanus shot lately? Rusty book clasps could carry germs and heaven forbid you’d get lockjaw! Circe would have no one to pick on!”</span></span><br/><br/><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: times new roman;"><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 13pt;">  “And hurry up, nurse nasty! This is a real bleeder!”</span></span><br/><br/><span class="bbc_font" style="font-family: times new roman;"><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 13pt;">Apply pressure to his finger where the blood is leaking through the tissue.</span></span><br/>
