One hole in the middle and a smaller one on each side! He didn't take her advice but did wash it out with hydrogen peroxide and applied some Neosporin and a band-aid after a shower when we got home. It is healing nicely.
Bonus material (or continued torture, if you can't believe you're still reading this but too lazy to click the Back button):
Here's our new (to me) bike hauler. I've had it about six weeks and just got a nice hitch rack from craigslist I bought the day before this picture. It's a huge improvement over a rack strapped on the trunk of my old Accord! I can easily fit one bike in the bed with both wheels on, and probably two with an old blanket between them. The hitch rack claims to hold four bikes, but I think three is the realistic maximum, which is perfect for us. I seriously believe this will get us out cycling more often because it's so easy to load up and go.
The look of agony on my son's face is because he had hurt himself just a couple minutes before. I knew he was fine but he hadn't come to that realization yet.
I have considered building a rack for inside the bed with perhaps 1" x 2" wood rails bolted to the floor cleats in the bed and skewer clamps that hold the forks with the front wheels removed. I may do that someday, but I wanted to ride with the kids sooner than later and got lucky in finding a decent rack at a good price and close to home.

Here's mine in the back when I rode up there the night before to make sure the trails were open. They close them periodically for wildlife mating and nesting seasons. I saw the ad before my ride and texted the rack seller when I was done. He was about three miles away I went and picked it up right then.
A quick and dirty bungee cord job to be sure, but this trailhead is so close to my house that I usually ride there instead of driving, so I wasn't worried about the bike.
