Cuts and scrapes are inevitable parts of childhood, but for kids, the sight of blood or nicks on their smooth skin can be traumatic. That's why moms like me horde bandages in every shape, color, and character, because they're often the only way to stop the hysteria over little skinned knee.
My medicine cabinet is currently filled with no less than 10 different varieties, from Dora to Phineas and Ferb. None of those, however, can even compare to the new augmented reality ones from Band-Aid. Yes, I said augmented reality Band-Aids.

These online stores cater exclusively to "married couples" and mention this about 40 times on every page. They also contain no nudity on the packaging or the websites and some make it clear that homosexuality (and sex with hookers!) is wrong.
I have been a vegetarian for as long as I can remember. I would cry if my parents tried to make me eat meat. By the time I entered my tweens, I just refused any meat at all, even bits of bacon sprinkled on something. My grandmother, alarmed by this, brought me to a doctor when I was 11.

In any case, whether you celebrate Luke, Leia, Han, Yoda, Darth, and all the rest today or later in the month, the beloved galactic series has its very own day, and that's reason to get gussied up in your best geekery.
