Ga-Ga and Bae-Bin

Kids that I've known, namely mine, have hypochondriacal tendencies, dwelling on hurts real and imagined for days and even weeks, esp if the real-hurt takes a little longer to heal over. AhPoh's been indulging BB these last couple of days with a tube of Neosporin, but for all the imagined and long-since-healed hurts, it might as well be a tube of lotion, a placebo. (Band-aids also work well in the placebo capacity.) What's particularly endearing are her mispronunciations of "zei-ga" ("this") and "zei-bian" ("here") when AhPoh asks her, "Where else does it hurt?"
