You don’t need to ask how I broke my toe. Just know that my toe was in the wrong place at the wrong time, and now it is large and purple.
Not my big toe. My little toe on my right foot. Possibly the toe next to that too, but definitely the little one.
The thing that sucks about busting a toe is that there just isn’t much you can do about it. You can tape it and ice it but that’s about it. There is no cast involved with a toe.
Anyway, I just thought I’d tell you about my purple toe. Ouch.

My youngest (age 10) just had a 1 inch splinter removed from his foot. Foot injuries suck because it’s so hard for them to heal. It’s not like you can just stop walking for two weeks. At least not for most of us.

Okay, I can’t accept that. I need to know…how did you break your toe? What did you kick, and did you do any damage to it? And were you mad at it? Come on, these are the stories we have to tell as writers! Full of metaphor and simile and, um, embellishment.

I kicked a chair. I totally kicked a chair. The chair won. I couldn’t believe how that chair jumped out and attacked me in a rage.
Okay that was the embellishment. In all actuality, I was walking by a chair and the chair was not in a place I was used to and my wee toe caught the wooden leg of the chair just so, and now its purple and busted and hurty.
