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.
