A Freak Accident

Watermelon Scribble Picnic July 5 2017


So I was peeling a watermelon the other day.  I stuck a large chef's knife into the middle of the fruit and started to slice it open.  It suddenly started to split open, pushing my knife aside in a way  that the pointed tip went toward my stomach.  I tightened my hold on the knife and everything seemed to be okay, but then I wondered 'have I been cut?'  I lifted my t-shirt up above my stomach and sure enough, there was a tiny slice (3/4" or 2 cm) in my belly skin, not enough to draw blood.  The outcome could have been much worse.

And that is my true story adventure for today!

You sound like me, sometimes I think I am an accident just waiting to happen esp in the kitchen! So glad it was not any worse than it was.

At first I was going to say what a neat painting of the watermelon, and then I read on. Wow! I'm very happy to hear you are okay. I'd like to see you try to explain that one to the medics, and even happier to hear that you didn't need them.

Christine said...
