When I was little and would fall and scratch a knee, instead of making a scene, fussing and worrying about me as if it were a fatal injury like many others (Italian mothers are Olympic champions in overprotective, dramatic reactions), my mom would calmly check out the damage, smile, and tell me to brush myself off and get back up since I wasnt badly hurt. Sometimes I still need her to put things in perspective and tell me everything will be fine, Im still in one piece and soon itll all get better, but after 3 decades of falling, scratching a knee (metaphorically and literally), and getting back up, I think Ive mastered the trick pretty well, in fact, I make falling look like its part of a twisted and elaborate choreography :P
