Mommy's Big Boo Boo

I was cleaning up the house after the painters pulled out yesterday. It was closing to Sienna’s pick up time. I went to the bathroom downstairs to settle my business as I was on my way to the garage. A small window was left open by the workers, as I noticed. I stepped in the tub to close. I used so much force as I always have so much to spear. It slid shut with my finger caught in between it and the frame…

Staring at the afflicted middle finger on my right hand, I was letting out all swears I knew in English. The husband came running to the rescue. We could not see the spot. Plain hurt like it was going to kill. It did bleed and bruised a few second later. A band aid covered the whole wound.

I was still shaking a little bit when I got to school. I said to the teacher, “oh, I am a bit late. I got a boo boo.” I so regretted that I did that after I realized these. Number one, I actually show the teacher the finger. How dare?! Number two, it was a small Barbie printed band aid. How could I have convinced her that it was in fact a big boo boo?! Nothing like what I would tell my daughter to be brave about.
