GIRL2: Mommy, I can’t get my cast wet, right?

ME: That’s right.

GIRL2: What will happen if I do?

ME: (thinking of a good excuse to keep her from dripping juice all over her cast) Well, it might get wet inside and get really itchy.

GIRL2: That’s okay, I can handle itchy.

ME: (time to up the ante) Well, it might also get infected!

GIRL2: Oh, darn. I licked it. A lot…

She licked it???
