Poor Working Man...

Poor Working Man. He works harder than anyone else and he gets so many injuries. At any one time, I find myself pointing to a bruise or a cut or dripping blood in some cases and ask (stupidly I still ask), "How did that happen?" It's stupid because WM never knows. He never ever knows. He gets so many lumps, bumps, bruises...he's a very colorful man.

I love my Working Man but it baffles me that he can get injured and never know how he got it. He doesn't bruise easily so he has indeed incurred a significant amount of pain, or at least a noticeable amount of pain and has simply...not noticed it. Please, someone, tell me how this is possible and how I can get some. I don't want to feel only a little pain. Just dangerous amounts of pain. I get a paper cut and I know when and how I got it and better yet, I can tell you that it hurts until it's been sewed up tight with new skin. Am I the only one who feels every lump, bump, and bruise? Maybe I'm weak, I know WM is not.

Anyway, all that to say that WM will not soon forget what caused this:

Any guesses what caused my husband's very colorful toe? Note: This is several days after the initial incident.


This is 1300lb of Mule meets toe.


Toe never wins in this case, unless he had his steel toes on. Which he didn't. Unusually.

I think he'll be wearing those around Henry from now on.

I'm surprised it hasn't happened to me yet.

I'm also surprised it's only broken in two places and not crushed.

I'm sure it's because Henry had no shoes on.

Thank goodness Henry didn't have his steel toes on!

Fine. I'm done with you dear audience for you have lost your sense of humor. And your sensibilities. I know I've lost mine. Until tomorrow. When I talk to you again, not when I get my sensibilities back. Those will never return. They ran away screaming to be honest.
