Needle Through My Finger
My mom has one of those antique sewing machines that she used to use back in the day to sew stuff up. Anyways it has a lever on the bottom that you have to sway with your foot and it works the sewing machine. To get it started though you first spin a small wheel at the right side of the sewing machine. Well my brother liked to pull a stool up to the sewing machine and twist that handle back and forth pretending he was steering a ship and that he was a pirate. Well naturally when I saw I was interested so I went over to see what he was doing. Not realizing that by turning the wheel you made the needle go up and down I carelessly put my finger on the base of the sewing machine. My brother kept steering away and I slid my hand over the flat surface right as my brother made a sharp turn. In short the needle went down right as my index finger went under it causing it to stab all the way through my finger. I screamed and he turned the wheel again releasing my finger. I ran to the fridge screaming and grabbed a towel and wrapped it around my finger. It was soaked with blood. All I can remember after that was standing on that butcher paper on the doctor beads leaning on my dad’s shoulder while a nurse said “I’ll be right back.” She must have given me a sedative because after that I don’t remember anything. Anyways you can’t tell I was stabbed. :p
More to come.
