Baby's got a band-aid.
She has a band-aid on her little nose.
It's pink, and glows in the dark.
She's got a boo-boo.
She got it from the cat.
She got to close.
Kitty was moody.
She smiles happily, showing off her nose,
to all her siblings.
She thinks it's cool.
One after one they bug kitty, and suddenly they all have band-aids, too.
Green. Orange. Yellow.
The laughter dies down.
The noises dim down.
I look for them, slightly worried.
I check everything.
I hear muffled voices coming from the hall closet.
They're all huddled up inside.
Admiring each other's band-aids glowing.
Giggling, smiling, laughing, having fun.
Kitty can finally sleep peacefully.
