[blparent] when children get hurt

[Jo Elizabeth Pinto]

Actually, it was kind of funny, the first time my daughter told me she was 
bleeding, she had scraped her foot.  She put my hand on the scrape, and she 
didn't know the word "blood" or "bleeding."  So she said, "Mommy, it has 
cherry on it" because of the red color of the blood.
