Oh my god nick, your story is horrific! I have had my fare share of accidents over the years; badly electrocuted myself, chopped the top of my finger off etc and it has now made me a bit squeamish – especially the finger one. I used to be fine with blood, but now it completely freaks me out!
Silkprint I love your turtle story – it makes me sad that kids today can’t play as freely as we used to. We used to disappear for a whole day when I was little and return dirty and bruised and no one batted an eyelid.
