While I was living in Pakistan as a child I used to catch ghecko's (lizards) and sometimes I would accidentially grab their tail which they would then let fall off. In my horror I would pick up the fallen tail and run to my mother for a bandaid to attach the tail back on to the lizard. I guess I just thought bandaids could fix anything.
