Christmas Cookie Casualty
My husband has a favorite saying, "it's amazing that the human race has survived so long. The young of the species are so helpless." This is often said in exasperation after one of our kids has done a bone-headed thing. This would be such a case. While assisting with Christmas cookie duty our oldest got injured. Baking would seem to be a pretty innocuous activity. Apparently not. No, she didn't get her finger caught in the mix-master. She burned herself. This seems like an obvious enough cooking injury, but the bizarre part is where. Get this, her chin! That's right, only my schmoopster would burn her pretty little chin while standing on her tippy-toes trying to sniff the fresh tray of cookies newly pulled from the oven. She is now sporting a nasty looking crusty red strip about an inch long across her chin. Fortunately she is very fairly complexed, so the scar probably won't be that obvious. I have made a mental note not to let her help carve the Christmas turkey.

Oh, no, the poor thing!! That sounds really painful! Burns are the worst. Isn't it amazing how kids find new and inventive ways to hurt themselves?
Oh, how sad! Somehow I doubt it has turned her off cookies . . .
If that worked, I might be willing to suffer a small scar . . .
Oh, poor schmoopy...tell her Auntie Shari sends her a get-well-kiss.

Poor girly!
This reminds me how Shrimpy burned his finger on incense while we were at a Buddhist temple in Xian. Silly little people.
V- she is the master of finding inventive ways to hurt herself!
E - I think it would take a lot to put her off cookies.
S - done!
EE - Poor Shrimpy. Fortunately for schmoopy we didn't have a chance to visit a temple while we were in China or I'm sure she would have pulled that one too!
And its also a very good thing that your daughter doesn't wear a beard, or else it might have caught fire.
It's always a great tragedy when a Canadian's beard catches fire.
Blessed be those who sustain kitchen injuries - for theirs is the kingdom of Christmas candy bliss.
'Tis a well-known corollary here in Australia!
R - we usually keep our female children shaved and beard-free.
D - welcome! My daughter is definitely blessed with Christmas candy bliss, so much so I think I need to find some place to hide it!
Thanks for the visit and the kind comment, Tracey.
What a small world, with the Muskoka connection. My next novel is due out soon and guess which part of Canada features in the title - Muskoka.
You can read a bit about it (and the real-life Muskoka setting) on a previous post called ``B Is For Beginning'' on my blog, with photos as well.
If you can't find it, give me a hoy and I'll send you the exact link......
