cuts in the mouth

AnonymousI think that there is a situation where I like to talk to a child. Would you please tell me if I can say 'Don't worry. It'll be all right. Those cuts in the mouth always heal quickly.'?

I don't see the connection between using juvenile language and having injuries to the mouth. What are you talking about?

Sorry for the less explanation. Who I talk to would be a little child, 5-8 years old. I am not sure if 'cuts' is suitable here, but I think that it sometimes happens after he falls down. Thank you.

First of all, the cuts are probably around the mouth, not in the mouth. If you think the child cannot handle the word cuts, you might try

The word 'owie' is new to me. Thank you, Philip!

Thank you for your suggestion, Clive!

AnonymousThe word 'owie' is new to me.

But be aware that it is infant slang.

I will. Thank you, Mister Micawber!
