I sewed my finger when I was about 6 and don't remember too much about it. Using grandmother's peddle machine and just went through the side flesh.. But about 40 years later I was trout fishing with my 2 preteen sons and put a fish hook through the web of my hand. Oh Lordy! Had to drive 15 miles around the lake to get someone to cut off the hook so i could pull it out backwards to get it out and then 20 country miles to an ER for clean-up and a tetnus shot. Egad! All the kids wanted to know was "will we ever find that fishing hole again?"
