"But I told you it was just water!"

When I was a child a hairdresser cut a bit of my ear. Obviously I cried at the moment, it hurt. I may have been anxious about going to get a haircut for a couple of times afterwards. But then we found another hairdresser that was absolutely marvelous with kids, and never had any issue afterwards.

It's just about how the situations are handled. The given story being a very very poor example, despite the parents having good intentions.
