Two separate incidents of stepping on nails and once falling and catching a nail in the palm. The bad luck of an active boy.
Buffy: He ran away, right? Giles: Sort of, more. turned and swept out majestically, I suppose. Said I didn't concern him. Buffy: So a mythic triumph over a completely indifferent foe? Giles: Well, I'm not dead or unconscious, so I say bravo for me.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
As Buffista injuries go, the piano key in your forehead may be even more awesome than Erin stabbing herself in the ass with her own knife. Plus, Spike-like eyebrow scar!
OTOH, I can't decide whether to cuddle your child self with the cookie pan, or to run away and never stop screaming.

LOL, JZ! Everyone was pretty much horrified. I was in shock so pretty much had to be told later what happened. I DO remember one of the sisters running to the fridge to get a stick of butter(!) because she thought it would help separate my hands...
It didn't. But it sizzled up real nice.

Barb, maybe have a doctor look at the burn if it's that bad so it doesn't get infected? (said because a friend didn't, and it did)
Sparky how did nanny days 1 & 2 go?
eta: the allyson book vids had me totally rapt. Well done cat-herders and cats.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
Argh. I just took a shower, and the wire shelf thing where I keep my shampoo and soap and stuff collapsed. Bottles and soaps and stuff spilled everywhere.

Lessee: all before the age of 13 - fell on a swingset, needed 43 stitches in my face; bitten by a dog, needed 149 stitches in my face; broke my left collarbone; broke my left arm (and in a cast for 4 months 8 days); 2nd degree burns on 3 fingers (and removed my eyebrows and eyelashes in the PUFF! of very, very hot smoke).
I suspect the "funniest" story there is when I got the dogbite, the year after the OTHER stitches-in-face thingy, I ran home bleeding profusely, and told my horrified mother, "We're NOT going to the hospital this time NO NO NO." I was...I think...6.

I hope that didn't result you in fearing dogs as an adult?

It did, somewhat. Large dogs (this was a retired police German Shepherd that attacked me) that I don't know and act aggressively get an instinctive reaction from me that, unfortunately, has been known to become a feedback loop: it scares me, I get more scared, it gets MORE aggressive, I get MORE scared, etc.
However, I LOVE dogs that like me. LOVE THEM. My mom has 2, my sister has 1, most of my friends have dogs. I can play kinda rough with the rougher ones, too - it's just strangers that make me get all twitchy.
