Home “first-aid kit”
Coming home from school, Pa rushes over to the dozing Ego.
Grabbing his big ear, she begins pouring out the day’s adventures.
Finally… curled up next to him, she tugs down her tights:
“Look, I scraped my leg.
You really need to kiss it!”
And he kisses it.
The pain “moment” fades.
Home “first aid” works most effectively.
Big ears listen to every secret.
And most importantly…
They never, ever betray.
