Can I Push It?

I know I’m getting old.  When you age your skin will become thinner and the capillaries will easily break.  I am always finding new bruises.  I am surprised when I have one and don’t remember hitting something. 

Of course, when I do find a new bruise I have to push it.  HAVE TO.  I have no idea why, it’s just one of the things that I do.  Actually, I do know why.  I have to see if it hurts.  I don’t know WHY I have to do THAT. 

Do you do this? 

Better yet, when I see a bruise on Thomas, I also HAVE TO push it and then I ask him if it hurts.  He loves it when I do that.  He always sounds like I’m killing him.  Come on, don’t be such a baby.  It’s just a little bruise.  Did I cry when you slammed my head in the car door?  Huh?  Huh?  NO!  Suck it up.  Geesh!!!
