Have you ever stepped on something sharp?

When I was four my dad was building a room addition. I walked out barefoot, stepped on a block of wood with a nail in it. The nail went all the way through my foot. I walked into the kitchen and looked at my mom and said “hey look! I’m Al Jolson!” and I tap danced with the block of wood.

Yep. I had a nail rotate in backwards through my foot. Sucked beyond the telling of it.

I had a thumb-tack get kinda far into my foot once. I just pulled it out and put some peroxide on it.

And the two responses above mine prompted me to say “ewww” and put my shoes on.

the funny thing is it didn’t hurt at all but a week later I got a splinter and thought I was going to die.

I straight pin on the ball of my 10yr old foot. It went all the way in(1inch). Instinct took over, even at that young age, I dropped to the floor and pulled it out without a moments hesitation. Surreal experience.

The best of all was when I was home with my mom and I was running through the upstairs to get to my room for something and my foot slammed down on a staple. I looked down at my foot and the staple not only had entered my foot completely but had actually stapled a NY Giants felt flag to my foot!!! All I could do was laugh once the pain subsided and my mom came up to pull it out.
