Today started as if it were any other day but fate knew it would soon take a turn for the worse. I was vacuuming the bathroom, it's just something I do, don't worry about it, and things were going great. The vacuum and I seemed to be getting along fine, no problems. I was using the hose and the vacuum was doing a marvelous job of vacuuming. The bathroom is super skinny, so instead of trying to do a 180 with the vacuum I simply decided to go in reverse. However, things did not go as smoothly as planned.I had the vacuum propped up on the back wheels so it would roll easier and somehow my foot got under the roll-y thing at the front. Who knew this was supposed to turn while the vacuum was set to "hose"? It scraped and grated against my toe and all I thought was, "Oh that hurt worse than I would have thought," and I promptly moved my foot out of the way. Then it happened again. This time I thought, "OH THAT HURT WORSE THAN I WOULD HAVE THOUGHT." I quickly finished vacuuming and after I finished I actually had the chance to think about what happened.
I thought, "That stupid vacuum probably tore a hole in my sock." Now, the thought of a holey sock really infuriates me so by now I'm pretty angry. I look down at my sock only to have my worst fear confirmed...there it is...a HOLE. I am more than infuriated now and as I look closer and catch a glance at the toe that lies beneath the sock, I think, "Something is not right." I rip the sock off only to behold this disgusting fate!!!
I run into my parent's bedroom and find my mom. By now I'm basically in tears and I exclaim, "The vacuum ate my toe!!" My mom looks at me, looks at the toe, and starts laughing. Hysterically. I cannot believe she is laughing at my pain. I was enraged. Still laughing, and observing that I'm crying, she asks, "Does it really hurt that bad?" I automatically answer, "YES!" My mom knows me pretty well and replies, "Or are you just sad you wrecked your toenail, and worried it won't look good in sandals and a swimming suit?" She caught me. I simply started crying harder and replied, "I'll have to blog about this."
MArissa my dear. I don't think in my history of blog reading i have ever laughed so hard. but look at it this way. atleast your foot is really tan and doesn't have tan lines, AND atleast you have sweet polish on your nails so that the picture doesn't fail completely.
ReplyDeletepoor toe.
hopefully it grows back soon, and maybe you should be a little more fragile' with the vacumm, it seems to have a temper.
wow i have never seen anything like that before ouch. thats why you use a broom and mop in a bathroom not a vacuum ;)
