Squashed

Last week while attempting to cut a squash for Sunday dinner, Amy chopped her thumb instead. Determined not to let this mishap ruin the day, Paul squashlessly entertained our dinner guests while Amy received three stitches and a tetanus shot. She made it home in time for dessert, sporting an impressive bandage that garnered much more sympathy than the wound actually merited. On Tuesday the bandage came off, revealing three tiny stitches and leaving a scar that, according to Amy's vegetable-despising dad, "serves her right for eating squash."
