Unknown upside of having had foot surgery

When the kids fall and can't stop crying though you can hear from the crying they're not really hurt, a great way to get them to stop crying is to say

WANT TO TAKE A LOOK AT MY WEIRD SWOLLEN FOOT WITH LOTS OF STITCHES?

unfortunately did this when Joel had friends over and now am fearing the aftermath of the friends' retelling my strange habits upon their return to their own families.
