Aloe there!

When we were little, my brother and I would run around and pull each other's hair out. Sometimes we'd smash each other's Lego pieces up and play Godzilla in an inhumane way. And when we'd get cuts, Mom would come running with this little bottle of Aloe Vera goo. She thinks its good for healing.

We used to have this little aloe vera plant (I think it got massacred too often and died off) and Mom would cut the stems off and rub the juice all over her scalp.


 I forgot why she did that. But I remember it smelling nice. Why did she do that?
