IMPORTANT LIFE LESSON!!! DON'T RUN WITH A POTATO MASHER!!! |
|
I'm going to the doc for the first time in ages today and I had my momma help me put together a medical history on me and my family. I knew I had a leg infection when I was little bitty...she refered to it as "cellulitis caused by an injury".
I asked, "what kind of injury?"
She just informed me via email that I "was playing with a potato masher and fell on it".
So of course I asked how I managed that trick.
I was bad...I took it out of the drawer and was RUNNING WITH IT!!!
Let this be a lesson to you all. :)

When I was a kid my dad tried to ride my skateboard down the driveway and it was very fun to watch... (Of course, the experience may be different if it involves a hospital trip...)

There's a link somewhere showing how dangerous it is.
I'm sure of it.

how I hurt myself bad enough to end up with an infection. I think I'm gonna have to call my mother to discuss this in person. Did she have the world's only potato masher honed to a razor sharp edge or something?

9. Do not sleep with the meat tenderizer |
|
It is a poor substitute for a wooby, and it leaves waffle marks on your face

I'll try to remember that in the future. *snort*
My little brother is lucky to be alive today after what he did with the meat tenderizer. HE used it on some of the keys on my piano when he was a toddler. Also on my mom's dining room chairs. I though one or the other of us was gonna kill him.
