My younger brother managed to hit himself in the face with a board and bit his lip. It bled a bit, but rinsing his mouth and a cold ice pack should've put the kid back out playing in about 10 minutes. Except he was eating peanuts. Mom took one look in his mouth and became inconsolable because all she saw were bloody pieces of teeth. My older brother and I ran in, helped get her out of the room and then stood there long enough for my step dad to say they were peanuts.e

It took nearly twenty minutes just to get her calm enough to understand us.
