I guess David decided my birthday was not quite exciting enough... :o) About 5:30 this afternoon, David was working on his whittling, and cut himself. Now before you go *there*, David is a Boy Scout and has been taught how to handle a knife and has been closely supervised. But of course, it only takes one slip... So, this incident started with him running up the stairs hollering *HELP ME!* That scared the **** out of me! He was bleeding pretty good. So I told the girls to grab Jimmy, we were going to the ER. The cut was actually only about 1/2 an inch wide, but a little deep. But a nice clean cut, due to the sharp knife! (HA!) He ended up getting 4 stitches. He is such a good boy, he doesn't even flinch or cry when he got the shots or the stitches. Although he was shaking the whole time, he said later that all the blood had scared him...
But as any red-blooded boy (no joke intended!), now that the shock has worn off, he is quite proud of his stitches! :o)
Ok, I think we are done for the day... All the kids are in bed and I am just waiting for Jim to get home from work (he works second shift) so I can go to bed too... :o)
Thanks for visiting! Hope I did not gross you out too much... :o)

So sorry David got cut ,these things happen .What a brave young man he was ,he looks so proud of those stitches LOL .It's a male thing ,my son is 29 and still like to show off his two scar's one under the chin from playing football and one on his hand after rolling his moms brand new car when he was 16 . I think it's a passage into man hood or something LOL .
A little blood doesn't bother me at all. Hope his healing is swift and he can get back to whittling, becoming a lost art. What has he been working on?
Sorry about David cutting himself but I guess that's all part of the craft - ask Molly's Jay. He sure was brave. When I was about 3 I fell onto concrete with a glass in my hand. Just about cut my hand in half. At the emergency room when I was getting stitches my dad fainted cause of the blood LOL Luckily I didn't lose the tendon in my baby finger like they were afraid of.
Ah a young boys battle wounds... and a mothers too!
Wow -- stitches! Hey, that's part of what being a Scout is all about: knowing what to do in an emergency! You guys did good!
