on 12/5/2007 Great idea we are always in the car and it never fails the kids start asking for Band-Aids. This would help out all year long. The personal touch is wonderful. My children did this and included gift certificates entitling him to one free hug, cleaning my room without dad having to yell, and walking the dog.
