Fort Leftyville they mean,I have fun everyday shouting, the Idiot rats down around here.
My sister cut one off too early with tin snips, it itched so bad. The doctor had a fit but had to put an inflated air cast on her ankle. That worked. And when it came time to take it off, there came into the room the sibilant hiss one hears when a tire runs over a nail. Casts can itch something fierce.
What kind of father uses a 10” circular saw to cut a cast off a kid’s hand? That’s not like tying a loose tooth to a door knob. It’s more like tying a mouth full of teeth to a car door. Or washing a kid’s mouth out with bleach instead of soap.
How long did it take with the tin snips?
I’m sure he stopped sawing when the kid started screaming and the blood started spraying!
I’m sure. Any good Dad would. ; )
Ha!!
I was going crazy...it was hot, the whole thing stunk to high heaven..and itched.
I CUT IT OFF!!! LOL!!!
I still walked around on crutches for a couple weeks...but better than that stinking pile of plaster!!
Tin snips take too long. You should have used what the good Daddy in this article used. Much faster. LOL
I was young and dumb..........
Some dads are good at do-it-yourself projects, and some should be sent to prison just for trying. A dad who can remove a cast (safely) is good. But not all men are like your dad.
When I was in 3rd grade I cut my own cast off using a hack saw and a butcher knife. It took quite a while. Opening that cast was not like opening a Christmas present. That was one of the grossest things I have ever seen or smelled (I had the cast on during the summer and as I fractured the plaster of Paris on the elbow and hand (and got it filthy) my dad kept putting on more layers of gauze and plaster). By the end of the summer it weighed considerably more than at the beginning.
Maybe, but not dumb enough to use a 10” circular saw.
I wish someone had done something to my parents after they indulged in such depraved and sadistic behavior. Sorry for you that you seem to think it’s ok.
Yeah, I broke my wrist when I was 14 or 15 and ended up removing my cast myself while hiding in the basement. Pretty gross. Huge blisters and skin covered in stinky slime.
what the hel is wrong with you?
Nothing, apart from finding it perturbing that you seem to think that putting soap in a child’s mouth as punishment is no big deal.
I never had soap put in my mouth. Nor did I put soap in my kids’ mouths.
However, I don’t believe it could physically harm a child so I would not put it into the category of child abuse.
If your parent did it to you for no good reason, I’d say that’s abusive, but the problem then is not the soap but the fact that you were punished for nothing.
