Christmas Miracle

M.O.M. : "Are you sure you want to prune the Christmas tree with a kitchen knife?"

Me: "Hush now.  I got this."

M.O.M. : "I really think I should do this. You're going to hurt yourself."

Me: "I said hush."

- 5 minutes later -

Me (while holding my thumb which is now squirting copious amounts

of blood all over the living room floor):

"AHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!"

M.O.M. : "Seriously?!"

Me (running to the bathroom): "Where's the First Aid kit?!  Why do we hide the First Aid kit?!

Who does that?!"

Sippy Cup: "Mom?  Is Daddy going to die?"
