Moral: Never cut toward yourself
Years ago when I was a new wife, I was fixing dinner and had to cut up a chicken to fry it. I'd been taught never to cut toward myself, but there was this one tough to cut piece and you know how slippery chicken can be. Well, I turned the little paring knife toward me meaning to do one little quick cut and oops. It cut through all right but apparently I'd used a bit too much umph cuz I'm suddenly standing there in my kitchen with a paring knife stuck in my chin.
Hm, what to do? Go see the damage. I wash my hands and go to the restroom to peek in the mirror. Small tug, yep, its stuck firmly. Through my skin and into the gum area by my front bottom teeth. I'm feeling really dumb at this point and no way I'm telling anyone about this stupid thing I've done.
I take a good hold on it and do the mental 1, 2, 3 YANK! Didn't bleed much and it's only a little cut so I put one of those little round bandaides over it (could have looked like I was covering a pimple) and resume making dinner saying nothing of the incident.
I've only a tiny scar to show but my kids really enjoy retelling my goof up stories so thought I'd share this one.
...I also taught my oldest how to mow, but thats another story.
