Deep. I was trying to separate two stacked glasses in a sink full of dishwater.
I held back all of the choice words I would like to say.
I miss being five. The catharsis that comes with being able to scream at the top of my lungs for a few minutes.
I showed the cut to my kids, whose eyes widened as they sucked in breath through their teeth. They didn’t comfort me…
If I was five, I would have at least gotten a Popsicle.

Ouch… just think, it could have been worse. You might need stitches. I cut my thumb with a hand tree saw, I have permanent nerve damage because of it.

Three of the world’s wonders; Duct tape, super glue…… and neosporin!
Hope it feels better…
