This past Sunday I was
enjoying a rare evening with my wife and son. She had just returned from a 5 day business trip and was leaving the next morning for another one. We were having dinner together, when I went into the kitchen and knocked over a glass bottle of hot sauce. The bottle broke but did not
shatter. I spent the next 20 minutes or so cleaning while our dinner got cold. After finishing up and having a laugh, I was doing some laundry in the basement while the two of them played in the living room. Walking up the stairs I felt a slight pinch in my foot. That pinch turned out to be a
shard of glass a little bigger than a quarter. After 1 hour of trying to get the blood to stop
flowing I finally decided to head over to the emergency room a short ways away. Sure enough, I was able to get stitches and was sent home a short while later in pain and a little embarrassed. I arrived to find out that my wife had found two more rather large shards of glass on the kitchen floor.
I must say that while this has been
inconvenient, the fact that it happened may be for the best. Had I not stepped on the piece of glass it could have been far worse. My infant son or my dog could have possible stepped on or eaten the glass. Ill take a sore foot over that situation any day.
