Thereby Hangs A (Cautionary) Tale

… which will not be told

Yesterday Thunderthighs spent the morning planting trees with Hextol.
First thing this morning he complained about having backache.
"Go in big-bedroom and look on the left hand middle shelf of the cupboard and you'll see a spray can of Deep Heat.  Spray that on your back but, whatever you do, make sure you wash your hands afterwards.   
Really wash them.  And don't touch your boys’ bits or anywhere sensitive until you have washed your hands very thoroughly and very well."
He looked at me a little quizzically.
"I could tell you a story about how I know why, but you really really don't want to hear that sort of thing from your mother."
Those that know why, know why.
In the end I got the can and sprayed the middle of his back myself just to make certain, and gave further instructions about washing his hands.
