Yeh. Happened yesterday. Wife picked her up from school and took her to local doctor. Nurse tacked it together with gel strips.

kid says “when daddy cuts himself, he wrappers electrical tape around it!”

nurse said it does the same thing . (Holds it all together so it heals)

her piano practice is on hold for now.... and her netball

it’s sliced across thebottom of the thumb. Lucky it didn’t sever a tendon or something

i would have slapped the teacher for not showing the correct way of cleaning it .

That used to be called a life lesson,.
But nowadays it'll be gross negligence /inadequate supervision by the school, major enquiry, further training...

When I was 4 our Mum used to give us a sharp knife to help chop carrots for tea under supervision of course with the warning be careful with it you'll cut yourself and it will hurt!

I've heard its long been common practice in some countries like Sweden

All my family did it , we all got cut on our fingers in the first 10 secs!
And we all learnt to respect knives!

Did the same with my kids but i waited until my Mrs was out!
But they now know not to wave it about or play the fool
Some might say its irresponsible but I think it's a good lesson

Give her Stanley knife next, they're safe if you cut away from yourself! Child immediately cuts towards themselves and the blade slips off what they're cutting

my da always taught me to always cut away from your body, but never towards your willie unless yo want to convert to the jewish faith.
