How the wounds disappeared.

I have to say....that I end up in all kinds of weird situations all the time. I am just one of those people. This time it was anyway quite adorable.

So, I was walking on some beach rocks, really raspy ones, when my ballerina slipped and I fell with my knees on some rough material. Like a little kid both of my knees were bleeding and the skin was completely ruined.

Nothing serious, just some superficial wounds.

I asked Nonna Nancy if she had at home something disinfectant and her eyes started blinking of exitement.

She was so happy to get to take care of me! :) 

She did not have the normal kind of disinfectant, she did have something so much more weird. An old bottle of something that looked like... I will spare you. It was a certain type of olive oil in a bottle filled with also a certain kind of flower that only grows at a particular place somewhere secret on Sicily. The oil had been in the sun for 5 months and thats why it was red. She put this supersticky liquid on cotton and on my raspy skin.

Not to make a mess and to stay on its place she wanted to place some pack on top. But because I am a girl she wanted me- the poor patience- to have something cute so I got a pack of flower cloth :)

I had that pack on for an hour and when I took it away I had no wounds left.

True story.
