Many years ago, my 2-1/2 year old daughter split her eyebrow, a vertical cut. At the ER, they decided to glue it. It didn't work, the only result being a mass of superglue, congealed blood, and eyebrow hair. And residents looking at each other like "WTF?!?." Six hours later we escaped the ER with a single stitch.

Afterward, our pediatrician friend said, "That was stupid, you never glue a vertical cut."

Was telling the story just last weekend to another friend, an ENT doc. He said, "That was stupid, you never use glue on the face."
