Frozen Vegetables

In some families they use ice packs. Some go to the doctor. In my family, we just like to use frozen vegetables.

We used to have ice packs, back when my two eldest sisters lived in the house. They were both competitive athletes and Ne-Ce had a tendency to tumble into concrete walls. But after they left, all our ice packs got busted, and the frozen vegetables were born. Now, whenever something is swollen, somebody says, "go grab some frozen corn/broccoli/greens from the freezer." So far, frozen vegetables have done their duty on needle-pierced knee joints, twisted ankles, fractured toes, broken toes, busted heads, and nail-pierced thumbs. Needless to say, we have a thing for getting hurt... But with frozen corn, who needs the doctor? :)
