The Big, Gross Toe Nail

MONTHS ago, Joshy had an accident. He was riding his bike and he decided that it would be great fun to go down Grandma's front steps. It didn't work out the way that he planned, and he flipped- of course. Where's the vid camera when you need one? He got a couple of owies, both of them horribly disgusting to me. Please know that I can deal with a lot of gross stuff. I held our dog's intestines in when she ripped her stitches open from getting her junk yanked. I can do bloody noses just fine. BUT! A FLAP of skin...OMFG! It's too much. My child had a toe flap. Even typing it makes me want to puke. A big flap of skin. Cullen tried to make me look, becuase he wanted to know if I thought he should take him in or not, but I couldn't look. Cullen hollered at me, but I couldn't. No amount of volume was going ot make me look. Incredibly, that sucker healed right up, within days! I was amazed. His toenail...well, it was clear that it wasn't going to make it.
But it's been slllooowwwww. First it turned blue, then it turned black, then spread. ICK. He loved to show it to me. Remember? He wanted me to look, just last week or so, and I couldn't (this makes him giggle uncontrollably, by the way- how grossed out I get) so he drew me a PICTURE and showed me the PICTURE so I could see what he was saying. Isn't he BRILLIANT?! Anyways...last night he came to show me that it was DANGLING. VOMIT! I, of course, wouldn't look, and Josh was practically on the floor with the giggles. It took him 5 minutes to even tell me what it was, because he anticipated my horror. You know that my 6 year old went back downstairs, yanked his dead toe nail off and came back upstairs to present it. Yes, I screamed a full on girlie scream, and hid my face in the couch and refused to come out. GRRRROOOOSSSSSSSSS!!!! How nasty is that?! ICK! I have no aversion to things like people's toenail clippings, or hair, or dust, or whatever, but THIS! UGH!!!!
He made me look at his new toe nail today. VOMIT. VOMIT! VOMIT! It's soft and seethrough and ICK! WHY AM I TALKING ABOUT IT!!!
Because now YOU are thinking of it too! : )
