They tell sickly children that they will get to eat as much jello and ice cream as they want. The up side of surgery, no solid foods! They never mention all the gory details and the guillotine like equipment used to chop the tonsils out of the child's body. The little white lies we tell our children to save them from fear. 

Each Grunge Geek Design piece of art tells a story, and maybe the Tonsillitis story talks to you. The Tonsillitis Curio mixes an antique medical tool to grab at the tonsils while they are cut away with a Victorian era gesso and wood picture frame. The three dimensional piece makes the curio a hands on experience. It's ok, touch it, interact with it, become part of history with the Tonsillitis Curio as it becomes part of your own home.
