Purple Stains

Kids, you may not know this, but I was always accident prone. Grazes on knees & shins, splits on lips, chin and skull, burns on legs and hands, and one bad incident with a brass zipper. Usually I'd just get up, brush myself off and be on my merry way. Sometimes though, there's a gash with blood flying everywhere. That's when the hard stuff comes out. I'm talking about Iodine.

It was usually dispensed by the school nurse after a kid does a knee slide over the loose asphalt parking lot behind the school (yes, it happened to me). The nurse would then tell the me off, wipe the wound, and dab a generous purple stain on the knee. Then for the next week, I'd would walk around with the badge of awesomeness splattered all down the side of my leg.

Nowadays, we'd just wash the wound, quick acid bath with Dettol, a scream, a plaster, and we're away laughing.

I want the Wolverine one please. I need the mutant healing factor.
