Stitches (age 6)

Rainbow and scootaloo were playing tag in the house because it was raining outside. Rainbow was chasing scootaloo and they ran into the living room, where Windy was watching some tv.


Windy whistles: girls I know you can't go outside but please be careful, i don't want any one getting hurt.


Rainbow: we'll be careful mummy.


Scootaloo: yeah we'll be careful. *rainbow taps her shoulder*


Rainbow: tag you're it!


Rainbow ran off down the hall way and scootaloo ran after her. Rainbow turned around to see how far ahead she was, but when she tuned around she smacked her head off the edge of the wooden table.


Rainbow: *crying* owww!


Windy heard rainbows cry and went rushing into the kitchen.


Windy whistles: what happened?


Scootaloo: rainbow hit her head on the table.


Rainbow: *crying* h-hurts m-mummy!


Windy whistles: *kneels down in front of rainbow* can i have a look sweetie?


Rainbow moved her hand away from her head and there was a very deep cut on the side of the her head and blood was pouring out of it.


Windy whistles: oh sweetie that looks really deep.


Rainbow: *crying* kiss it better mummy and put a plaster on it!


Windy whistles: oh baby I don't think my kisses or a plaster can fix it, i think you're going to need stitches.


Rainbow: *panicking* NO MUMMY DON't WANT TO!


Windy whistles: *picks rainbow up cause she was still light enough to do that* shhhh I know you don't want to, but it'll become infected if we don't. Come on let's go.


*at the hospital*


They we're sat in reception for waiting for doctor Johnson to call rainbow in, after 10 minutes they finally got called in.


Doctor Johnson: ok so what happened?


Windy whistles: rainbow was running in the house and she ran into the kitchen table and hit her head.


Rainbow was sat on windy lap as her mum held a wet cloth on the cut to try and stop the bleeding.


Doctor Johnson: ok I'll get it cleaned up and then we'll see what it needs.


He cleans the the blood from the cut and he tells Windy that it is going to need stitches and he'll use an anaesthetic, to numb it.


Windy whistles: ok. *turns to rainbow* sweetheart, you're going to need to have small shot so the stitches won't hurt.


Rainbow: n-no mummy!


Windy whistles: shhh just hold my hand don't look, it'll be over really quickly.


Rainbow didn't look and squeezed windy's hand and whimpered little bit as the needle stung.


Windy whistles: *rubs rainbows back* good girl the worst part is over now. Once doctor Johnson has done your stitches we'll go home and watch a film.


Rainbow: *whimpering* o-ok.


Doctor Johnson did the stitches and then gave rainbow a lollipop and a sticker and they headed home. After the incident rainbow remembered to look where she was going, when she was running around.
