I've never sewn my finger but one time I was making DH and I a nice salad for dinner. Saw the people on food network get the seed out of an avocado, likety split. Tried, failed. tried again, knife slipped off the seed and went right through my hand. I had a few choice words as I yanked that knife right back out. DH took me to the hospital, 3 stitches on the palm of my hand, 3 on the top, ruined salad. Now DH says 'let me take the seed out'.
