Bagpuss Report post Posted May 21, 2006 A verruca She's desperate for one.....has asked where she can get one from. Now keeps asking if I will take her to the swimming pool so she can get a verruca.........when I asked her why she wants a verruca, she said "because i want black holes in my feet" I've been tempted to tell her she can have one for her birthday....just to keep her quiet.... What amazes me though is no one in the family has ever had a verruca......so where has she found out about them???? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stressedmumto2 Report post Posted May 21, 2006 This made me laugh. A friend from school or family memebr may have one. Does she do swimming at school ? It could be that another child has one whomay not be able to do swimming cos of it, does your daughter like swimming ? it could be that she wants one to get off swimming or p.e. if they do it bare foot. It may simply be that she thinks it's cool, I guess you could always draw one on her foot, with some black felt tip pen or even a marker so it doesn't go, lol Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bagpuss Report post Posted May 21, 2006 Thats a good idea. Our son thinks it could be from TV ad. She laid down next to me earlier and asked for a hearing aid She recently went swimming with school, but alone with a TA, to help with her MD. This has stopped now, so don't think its related to that, so son could be right. Sometimes you just have to laugh Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lil_me Report post Posted May 22, 2006 Maybe she just wants a Bazuka I remember my son wanting Chicken Pox only because his brother had them twice by this point, but then his brother caught them for the third time and he got them. He was overjoyed when the first spots appeared, but asked me to take them off him the next day Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

baddad Report post Posted May 22, 2006 buy her an eyebrow pencil! She can have one whenever she wants without having to wear a rubber sock for swimming! Or for special occassions how about a sparkly sequin varrucca? She'd be the envy of all her friends! If she's over sixteen she could have a tattoo...

BusyLizzie100 Report post Posted May 22, 2006 Taking the chicken pox off! Bless. That reminded me of DS2, who's just had his tonsils out. He said: "And next year, Mummy, I'll have my tonsils put back in." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Flora Report post Posted May 22, 2006 Bagpus Confession time. When I was little I was really jealous of all the people who had warts and varucas. I would hold hands with all the little girls who had warts on their hands so I could catch them. I never ever got warts or varucas which kind of makes you wonder when people say they are highly contagious. Don't worry, I'm sure she'll grow out of it.

~Jonathan~ Report post Posted May 22, 2006 I bought a pair of flippers when I was a kid from the local charity shop and walked around in them for weeks because I had seen a toy in Woolworth's which was a little plastic diver that you put in the bath and he swam around.

Viper Report post Posted May 22, 2006 I can spare a few if you want. Ben has had warts since he was 2 (he's now 5 1/2) and recently develped 2 huge varucas. He has 9 on one hand alone. Believe me it aint fun trying to treat an AS kid for warts and even worse for varucas. He tends to bite his warts off and then spend the next week crying cos it's bleeding/ hurts. He once caught a wart and riped it right off, ouch. By the way, they are very contagous all my family (6 of us) have them in one form or another and have for many years now. Doctors wont freeze kids warts under ten years old, don't know why. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
