Carrie12345 Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 I called my mom to wish her a happy Thanksgiving, and to compare Turkey Day war stories. I gave myself serious burns picking up a dish that had just come out of the oven. Then dh came within inches of stabbing me in the eye with a carving knife. My mother dropped a glass bowl, sending shards of glass everywhere. My stepfather cleaned it up and put the pieces in the trash. Mom put something else in the trash and sliced her hand open. Then she dropped another bowl, sending cranberry sauce all over the place. It's been a perfectly normal holiday for us. Hope everyone else avoided scars!

Remudamom Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 Well, I'm famous at my house for always cutting myself when working in the kitchen, today I somehow avoided it. I even slice myself open in other people's kitchens. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imeverywoman Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 But, oh well. He served his purpose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newlifemom Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 Small burn from the turkey, otherwise good. :001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gardenschooler Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 I have a few minor cuts and burns, but thankfully nothing serious. No major catastrophes or explosions this year. Sounds like they all took place at your house. :grouphug: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sparkle Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 Oh, ouch! Those all sound painful :eek: No catastrophes here except for dd knocking over a cup of (lukewarm) coffee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
runamuk Posted November 28, 2008 Share Posted November 28, 2008 I'm well-known in our family for cutting myself during the holiday cooking. My BIL says it's not a holiday dinner unless my blood is in it (he has a rather morbid sense of humor). My husband just makes sure I have a supply of band-aids on hand before the stores close.

cricket1178 Posted November 29, 2008 Share Posted November 29, 2008 We had a safe and happy holiday. No major injuries here. I cut myself on the turkey bone, but nothing serious. It did hurt worse than a paper cut, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sassenach Posted November 29, 2008 Share Posted November 29, 2008 No injuries for us. Our only incident was when I leaned the beaters up against the side of the bowl. They slipped off, turning on high in the process. Mash potatoes flung all over the kitchen and myself. Dh took a picture. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
partyof5 Posted November 29, 2008 Share Posted November 29, 2008 Well, we never get through Thanksgiving weekend unscathed. On Wednesday we drove up to our church to help prepare a dinner to be served Thursday to local seniors. The woman coordinating it was great at finding jobs all our kids could help with. Just 5 minutes in, dd10 was washing a set of old vases to be used for centerpieces. Dd 7 is on a stool next to her, ready to gently dry the outside since floating flowers will go inside, no need to dry there This is nothing for her...old hat. But this day, one vase literally shattered in her hands for no reason. She began screaming, and long-story-short, she's got 3 stitches in the tip of a finger. So much for helping with the dinner! Last year, my mom twisted her ankle quite badly while walking just a day before Thanksgiving. She went into some strange shock and passed out, sitting upright in my arms with her eyes wide open. I thought she had had a stroke or attack of some kind, but no...just shock I guess. Trip in ambulance, overnight stay, and splint for the ankle. No clue what happened to her really but no medical explanation for the nature of her fainting. We wait every year to see who's goin' down next! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
