Last night I went to the church to donate blood for someones Eagle project. I was doing my good deed for the week. My bag was almost full when the needle popped out, so my blood is no longer able to be used because it was air contaminated. I was not happy about that. I am afraid of needles and blood makes me sick, so donating is a big deal to me. To be told that my blood can't be used for transfusions was not a good thing. They assured me that it will still be used for research and testing though. Great, not a total waste after all.
When I got home the girls were fascinsated with the whole in my arm. Addsyon wanted to know who was going to get my blood, how they were going to get it, etc. Then she asked how blood gets in my body. Here is her explaination:
There is a little skeleton inside my body with a tiny machine and a bowl of water. The skeleton has red food coloring that he squirts into the water. Then the skeleton squeezes the mixture into my arm in two spots to make me have blood.
Quite the imagination!! To watch her explain this in detail was priceless! Just another reason I love the kid so much!
