hehehe... I notice this a lot in the young adults. (no offense meant to anyone) especially under 30. We had a good old fashioned barn raising, 40' x 60' when we moved my parents here. Friend, relative, neighbor, I cooked a huge spread that weekend, both days. I cut wood, handed up the sheet metal, etc in between. The older folks, all us us had smashed fingers, cuts, scrapes, usual stuff that happens. The strapping 20 year old big guys would be acting like they died every time they had a scrape! I was very grateful for all the help, of course.. But..wow. bandaids and antibiotics on a scrape? The one boy i swear he went white, i finally made him sit down. (Oh, my) he had a splinter so i pulled it out. My DH asked me that Sunday night if i noticed anything about the kids that helped..hehe. I just smiled. His words were "geez.. they need to learn to suck it up!" I have 2 grown girls, they learned young to not sweat the small stuff. my oldest had tons of scraped knees, and would just climb right back up that tree or on that bike. My youngest is a "girlie" girl, but she blows it off too. Think its just how you were brought up.
