Oh yes, they did! And I am guessing people are lining up in droves to get their chicken comb injections as I type! (Great for the knees, no so much for the chickens!)

You see, last week, my mom sent us this handy-dandy, ever-useful apple corer-peeler-slicer thingamajig. (See Exhibit A...) (Oh and thanks Mom!)
The (Innocent Looking) Thingamajig |
You see, I was out of the house teaching violin lessons when Kurt decided to use the aforementioned Thingamajig to fix an apple for the onlooking children of the house. He hadn't seen me use it however (or perhaps had not been paying enough attention when he had, I know not which....) and starting with the thingamabob exactly how it looks in the picture, stuck the apple on and proceeded to peel/slice/core the apple backwards. In and of itself, that is not a problem, although I am guessing it is not as easy as using it the correct way, you know, with the sharpened side of the blade. (No biggie, it seems that most men like to muscle through things from time to time anyhow.) However, when it came time to remove the core from the three prongs, he had to use all his might, and as the apple core made its dramatic exit from the Thingamajig, his hand flung into the sharpened side of the blade which sliced into his pinky and splattered blood ALL. OVER. EVERYTHING!
My understanding is that the looks on our childrens' faces were priceless. They will never forget and probably never eat sliced fingers apples again. But I have to say, that is one excellent lesson:
Children (and husbands) should avoid using unfamiliar sharp objects no matter how friendly they may appear. :)
Thanks for that, Hun! Oh, and you might want to wash the dried blood off your face....yep, there you go; you got it.
*Disclaimer: No harm, physical or otherwise, was done to the sweet Thingamajig in the above incident. He's probably off coring/slicing/peeling as I blog....but I am pretty certain there is no injection, chicken derived or otherwise, that will help the poor little digit involved!
In my experience, those apple coring things never really worked. Maybe I was using it backwards! Hope your husband is not permanently injured.
ReplyDeleteI have to admit, when I first tried it, it didn't seem all that great but after a few adjustments (and then using it correctly) it is pretty fantastic if you just want to get it done quickly. And since I like everything to be done quickly, this really works for me! I also figured out you can just peel (without coring and slicing) so that is fantastic too.
