The Hand

A Thirdlander has a weird red mark on her hand from playing on the monkey bars.  Yesterday she picked at it all day long, trying to rip her skin open.  I tried every strategy in the book to get her to stop but she wouldn't.  She finally split it open, got some care in the office, and then removed the bandaid so she could continue to pick at it.  I know she's going to pick at it all day today so I'm going to try to ignore it.  Because paying attention to it didn't work out. 

So, I'm not looking forward to work today.
