Thursday night, Reid bonked my nose with her head or maybe I bonked her head with my nose the trauma of the collision has made it hard for me to remember the exact circumstances. Let’s just say that there was some nose on forehead contact and I was the one in the most pain. Of all of the body parts I smack on a regular basis, and there are many thanks my innate grace or lack thereof, none hurts as much and as when my nose comes into it. On this particular occasion, my eyes watered and I concentrated on not saying any 4-letter words other than “Ouch, ouch, ouch.”

Reid seemed a bit scared or maybe worried and said, “Let’s kiss each other better.” I tried to convince her that it wasn’t required since I couldn’t imagine how I’d feel if she touched my nose again. (I’m a bit dramatic, maybe.) Reid was determined to get and give her healing kisses and so I kissed her forehead and cautiously moved my hands away from my nose. Reid tenderly kissed my forehead and I didn’t tell her that it was my nose that was bonked. Reid’s kisses are powerful, though, and the healing went right where it was needed. I guess she was right about the need for us to kiss each other better.

Stay safe out there and if that doesn’t work out, I hope you have someone to kiss your ouchies better.
