"I can hear my finger bopping."

Mimi had a fun day last week--

We were all finished family prayer, and Will and I sent the kids to bed, saying we'd be there in a few seconds to tuck them in. Still on our knees, Will and I started chatting about our day or something.

Until Mimi starts crying. Not a screiking cry-- just a cry. Bear starts yelling at LL, and there's a bunch of commotion in the other room. All I hear is Bear state to LL, "No! Don't touch her- She's hurt!!! She's hurt!!"

Will and I look at each other. Annoyed. Aren't they in bed YET?!

We walk into Bear's room, where Mimi is sitting on the floor. Attached to her shirt is his brand-new, two-sided fishing hook. Attached to the other end of the fishing hook, is her finger.

The hook being the whole way in!!!!


As Will removes the hook from her shirt, we realize that we can't take the hook out without seriously damaging her finger, so we head to the emergency room.
Where the on-call Doctor wonders what the heck to do.

They didn't have wire cutters, so Will's Dad, Grandpa Paint, decides to come by the hospital with some.

After a really good drink of some sort of drug (for Mimi, of course), she and I recited our ABCs while Will and Grandpa Paint pushed the hook THROUGH the other side of her finger, exposing the barb and snipping it off.

Poor Mimi screamed a banshee scream, her eyes popping out!!!! Then I heard *snip*. And then she giggled. The hook was out. Daddy and Grandpa were heros!

Lucky for us, she remembers NOTHING.

But we got her home, and our loopy little girl was quite entertaining. She raved about her Dora bandaid, and then, turning to Em, stated "I can hear my finger bopping."

"you can hear it?? Or feel it?"
*puts finger to her ear* "Hear it.".


mmmmkay, kiddo!
