... well, that was unexpected.

Sam just cut himself with a chainsaw. It's not deep or really bad, but Mom's worrying that he needs a tetnus shot and is about to pass out because she feels so horrible about letting him use it at all, and especially because she'd gone to the other side of the yard to do something. And Sam's crying because he doesn't want Papa to know because he's sure Papa will make him feel like he's really really stupid (a rather justified fear).

It's really unexpected, because Sam's always been pretty careful with sharp things and he's done chain-saw work before with Matt and with my mom and he's always done very well, so... yeah.

I guess we're just lucky it's not deeper.

I think Kat and I might be the only sane people in the house right now. O.o

Um. When in doubt, get the tetanus shot. Poor Sam. How old is he?

[be-themoon.livejournal.com]

He had it not all that long ago (bitten a rat I think it was that time, or possibly a nail in his foot). He's 11 1/2. Mostly it would seem he's fine, it barely bled and we got anti-biotic on it immediately and a bandage, and at least the blade was mostly clean.

Aww, poor baby.

[be-themoon.livejournal.com]

He's incredibly injury-prone, but he's a tough kid. He deals, makes us play games with him, and begs for his favorite foods. :P

I adore my sister, but I envy your big family.

<333 It has it's moments of 'why are there so many of us?' but for the most part I love it. *hugs* How old is your sister?

Awwwww, I'm really sorry for your brother. ♥

Though I'd get the tetanus shot, just to be safe. They aren't really different from normal vaccines, are they? *has no idea*

...Also, is it weird that my brother is the same age as Sam?

17.

Aw, poor kid. Definitely get the shot, better to be safe than sorry, right? (We went through something like this with my brother when he and his friend decided to help a sick raccoon by taking it to the vet. A doctor in the neighborhood happened to pass them on the street and called the friend's mom to tell her the boys were wandering around with a rabid raccoon and she should maybe get them to the doctor.)

I hope he feels better. :/

Just my age then. Sisters are awesome.

[be-themoon.livejournal.com]

He's mostly fine now, so yay for that!

Probably not, but definitely funny. XD

O.o Your brother sounds awesome! I think Sam learned his lesson about trying to catch wild mammals (snakes are a whole 'nother matter) after getting bit by a rat. XD

He seems to be doing fine now, so yay!

I can't imagine being a girl without a sister. I could never do that to a daughter of mine. I'd just keep trying until I got another, or, failing that, adopt one. LOL.

[be-themoon.livejournal.com]

I know! No one to talk to boys about, and sometimes you just cannot talk to you mother, way too embarassing, and then there's all the insanely awesome stuff sisters can do together. *sighs* I would adopt if I couldn't have another girl. Seriously.
