Owwwiiieeee!!! When I was about 7 I ran a big saftey pin through my big toe. I was in the park and had tennis shoes on. It went through my shoe and the bottom of my toe and out the top by the nail. Of course I was screaming bloody murder and my brother was no help at all. He's 3 years older and kept telling me they were going to have to cut my toe off. I yelled all the way to the emergency room. Mom was about ready to strangle us both. He later told mom he meant cut my shoe off not the toe. Nice save, don't you think? I still get sharp pains in that toe once in a while. I got a tetnus shot in the behind. Believe me, I feel your pain.
