The Unkindest Cut

Even though it's not medically necessary, we decided to have Ryan circumsized. Now that we've had four days to recover, Megan would tell you that it was harder on her, but I'm not so sure Ryan would agree. Megan and Lucie conveniently went for a walk during the procedure leaving Ryan and I to face the "clamp". With a little help from the local anethesia and suger-water sucked from my finger, he survived with minimal discomfort.

Having witnessed a circumcision up close, I wonder why the Circumcision Clamp isn't listed under banned torture devices in the Geneva Convention? While we're at it, the speculum should probably be added as well.
