I must have been to the same parenting school Eric........If my daughter came home and said her leg was bleeding.......I used to ask if it was hanging by a thread...and could she still walk on it...if the answers were a 'no' and then a 'yes'...I would tell her she was alright and she would die after it.
Didn't put much on cuts or grazes.....just held them under running water(extremities, that is)......if no running water available I have to admit to using mumspit. She survived!
