Eating healthy kills....

Tonight as I was sitting on the couch, I hear the Reluctant Farmer shuffling around in the kitchen.  After a few minutes I hear her say in a serious yet calm voice, "Uh, Emily?!  Can you come here?  I think I cut myself!"  Realizing that she was trying to play it cool, but was worried, I went into the kitchen to find her leaning over the sink with blood dripping off of her ring finger.  I immediately went to take a peek, but there was so much blood present I could not see anything!  I applied pressure to her finger for a few minutes with some gauze and then we tried again for another peek.  Fail!

I wrapped it wet to dry with gauze, put on a pressure bandage, and now we wait to see if there will be a trip to the ER in our future tonight.  I suspect it is just bleeding so bad because it is a finger tip and those always bleed terribly.  Through her tears, the Reluctant Farmer looked up at me and said, "See, eating healthy kills!  I knew I should have stuck with eating a cookie!"  Poor Reluctant Farmer.  On the bright side, she can commit whatever crime she would like to because you can't get a fingerprint off of that finger anymore!  Always looking for the glass half full option here on the farm....
