Strange Phenomenon

There is something strange going on at our house lately. Teeny tiny scratches that normally heal in 24 hours or less have been turning into bloody oozy sores. At first I panicked. We did afterall have a run in with a not-so-friendly staph infection earlier this year and I was sure it was back. Then I discovered the truth.

Meet the scab picker in our family. She looks pretty and pretty innocent, right? Trust me. Her finger nails are G-U-I-L-T-Y. She seems to be drawn to scabs, unable to control her impulses whenever a scab is easily accessible.


Now meet the scab picker's victims. One of them is old enough to object, but for some inexplicable reason he allows his scabs to be picked.
