Yesterday Roger was in the kitchen getting ready to heat something in the microwave...I walked in just as he stubbed his toe. Those that really know me would have been proud. I didn't laugh right off the bat. Didn't even have to try real hard, unless I thought of the other times he stubbed his toe. Remember two or three years ago, he stubbed his toe, the same toe, 3 times in a week or so. The last time being he was out in the garage barefoot and kicked it against a cast iron jackstand so hard he moved it across the floor. He ended up having surgery on that poor toe.
Anyway, was doing good not laughing...then he said ."It's been a while since I kicked something with my toe.....(slight pause here)....I don't really miss the experience." Needless to say, I lost it then...
Well, while looking for a photo to use in this post, I came across this article and wanted to share it: How to Stub Your Toe.
What he said was priceless - Would love to have seen the look on his face!
ReplyDeletecute article and OUCH is right, i have broken my big toe twice in my life one on each foot and 4 times the little toe, 3 on one foot and 1 on the other. i am a profesional toe breaker.
ReplyDeleteCome to think of it, I don't stub my toes like I used to. With kittens underfoot, I have to walk slowly and carefully. Difficult, but I guess there are some rewards for the effort.
ReplyDeleteOuch! But, I'd have laughed, too. I'm like the comment above with the kittens underfoot. Have a nice day!
ReplyDeleteOh rose you are too funny. I read the article and yes never near a cliff cuz that first step will kill ya. LOL
ReplyDeleteLove it that you and Roger are so compatible . MB
A fine recounting of another "toe" experience. I enjoyed reading it!
ReplyDeleteNothing worse than stubbing a toe....except maybe a paper cut. I hope his toe will be okay!
ReplyDeleteIt's just part of living in Indiana. I'm a native Hoosier and some things can't be helped, like the need to walk barefoot, even in winter. ;-)
ReplyDeleteBut oh my word, I can't imagine kicking my toe against a cast iron jack stand, ESPECIALLY hard enough to cause it to move! That brings tears to my eyes!
I loved Roger's comment!!
I've broken several toes by going barefoot, but nothing ever as bad as Roger's experience.
Hope he heels up quick.

A great sense of humor even when in great pain. He's a keeper :) Hope his toe heals quickly. Now I will go read that link.
ReplyDeleteThat article is really funny! I posted it on my Facebook page. But I sure hope he has a full recovery. ;)
ReplyDeleteouch ouch ouch ouch!!!! That's smarts!
ReplyDeleteOuch! I have to say I didn't laugh until I read..."It's been a while since I kicked something with my toe.....(slight pause here)....I don't really miss the experience."...Then I lost it myself :))
ReplyDeleteOOPS! Sorry I laughed. But I know from experience that it REALLY can hurt!
ReplyDeleteLOL...humor helps when in pain....and I will try hard not to follow the direction in the toe stub article...
ReplyDeleteI'm proud of you for not laughing, but can see why his comment would set you off :-) Poor Roger.
