The next four words were: "Carlton! Come here! Quick!!!" And then something like, "Carlton, WAKE UP and get in here now, I've hurt myself!!!" (I made the picture that poopish color instead of actual color because it's really even grosser in actual color. (Spell check didn't give "grosser" a red squiggle, so it counts in my book!) Yes, this was a double parenthesis. Woot!)
Because just minutes before I did that up there, I had taken this picture:
He was napping because we like to practice what we call "Lazy Sunday" around this house, and it was definitely really nice Lazy Sunday. Until. Poor guy got a loud, panicked wake-up call.
Just a few things here and then I'll be done:
1. I'm so glad I was using my fancy ceramic knife because it was really sharp (obviously), thus I wasn't really pressing down on the knife that hard (which would have made the above poopish colored photo even more gruesome).
2. I was holding the handle of the knife with my left hand because I (not true--->) like to pretend (true--->) I'm a southpaw.
3. I was pressing down on the top of the knife at the tip of it with my right hand (hand pictured above in poopish color) for a little help, and to make things safer (laugh*) by not having to press so hard on the knife from the handle. *Funny how I was using the hand I'm not good with to help out the hand I am good with.
4. My right hand slipped down towards the cutting board.
5. I reacted HOW I SHOULDN'T HAVE reacted for a split second, jerked my hand back towards me, and SHWING!!!!!ING!ING!ING!!! That was the sound of a steel blade shwinging, though I wasn't even using a steel blade. Kinda like cars erking to a stop in a movie when they're on cobblestone streets. Basically, not really possible at all ever.
6. I sliced my fingertip, including the nail, open.
7. Was Velveeta cheese dip really worth it?
Shoulda just stopped with the Jesus Cookies.
ReplyDeleteGood Lord Lady! That looks awful and just like something I would have done. That has to be such a painful injury but my first thought was, "Can she still knit?"
ReplyDeleteThe finger looks awful - and I hope it is feeling better because I am so behind on checking blogs - but the picture of Vespa laying down in a very dangerous gas zone is hilarious! I want to practice Lazy Sunday, too.
ReplyDeleteWhen I read "ceramic knife," I figured you were doing some kind of artistic activity, such as pottery or something of that nature. Then I got to the velveeta part. Sorry cuz.
