Whoops!

“Honey?”

“Yeah?”

“If you’re going downstairs, can you make me a scone with some of the clotted cream?”

“Sure Hun.”

So like the nice husband I am, I go and make her a cup of tea and grab some milk for myself and grab the bread knife and a cinnamon scone to pop into the toaster oven.

Little background – when I was in highschool and college, I worked in a bagelshop so I know my way around knives having used them a lot and seen some horrific cuts.

Yeah, you know what’s coming.  Idiot boy thinking there’s no way he can cut himself didn’t count on the outside edge of the scone being a little harder than the rest of the scone.  So I cut a little harder.  Yep, right into my finger.  “Why didn’t he put it on the counter?” you’re probably asking.

Because I know my way with knives.  Actually, the answer should be, “Because I’m an idiot!”

it’s around 10:30.  I got back from the hospital around 12:30 with two stitches and gauze wrapped around my index finger.  Going to Kendo practice is going to be fun tomorrow for sure :)

Okay, fess up.  What’s your worst idiot moment?

  1. Ummm… ahem…. slapped a dishcloth against the kitchen counter while having a little hissy fit and accidentally also slammed my knuckle against the counter at the same time… and popped a blood vessel resulting in an ugly swollen finger.

  2. You mean besides betting that Manny wouldn’t be a Dodger?

    Probably the time I slammed my finger as an adult in a car door. Ouch…

  3. OMG, Matt! That’s FUNNY! (sorry)

    And BTW, thanks for commenting on that UNFINISHED post! It made me realize that I had forgotten to hit SAVE, instead. It’s gone now…sorry.

  4. LOL – I hope I don’t do that. Heard about a lady cutting up credit cards and did the same thing. I think she cut off her fingertip?!

    Me, though? I have a collection of them. Like when I mooned everyone at the public pool.

    But this post reminds me of something else. You know those Pampered Chef food choppers? For chopping up onions and sh*t? I hate chopping anything – bought one of those and one day, had my palm up to the bottom to push the lid on after I’d washed it.

    Except the lid wasn’t on.

    I’ve no idea how I didn’t get any stitches.

  5. Pampered Chef is the reason I didn’t need a tetanus shot. I was using the apple corer and pushed it right down on the tip of my finger. Needed 5 stitches for that one.
