When we go
shopping… my husband will often drop me off by the curb, before parking… so I
can get a head start. It usually works out nicely. But the other day it didn’t. I realized there
was a problem the minute my foot hit the asphalt. Something went crunch and I looked down to see
a broken glass bottle. I carefully pushed it away with my foot. But the minute I
took another step I felt something pierce the inside of my boot. A piece of the
glass had wedged itself into the sole and was hurting me from the inside out. I
got back inside the car to remove my boot. I didn’t know what I was going to
do. We were a couple miles from home and this was more than an inconvenience. Fortunately for me… my husband happened to have a pair of
channel locks in the car. They are like pliers only adjustable. Turns out there
was just enough of the glass shard sticking out the bottom of my boot… and it
was thick enough… for him to get a firm grip on it, to pull it out, without it breaking off. I held my breath
praying it wouldn’t snap off and it didn’t. Problem solved. Have you ever had a
freak accident happen to you?
