Why?

Why does my child think that he needs medicine for EVERYTHING? Besides the fact that he's my husband child also and daddy takes medicine for splinters (not really, but he would if it helped). The other day he stumped his toe while running through the house and while running to me crying he's saying the whole way, "meicine, ice, mama kiss". I can kiss it and I will put ice on it if it's bad enough, but there is no way on this earth I am going to give the kid medicine for a stumped toe! Get a straw and suck it up kid! That's not what I said to him, but when he gets old enough I will. :o)
