I was making mashed potatoes tonight and while cutting the potatoes the knife slipped and I cut my thumb.
My oldest is interested in cooking and he was watching. I screamed when I cut myself and it scared him-it was more out of shock for me than actual pain but the way I yelled he was more shaken than I was. Quickly went to the first aid kit and bandaged it and got back to work.
I told him there were a couple of lessons there. Knives can be dangerous so pay attention and don't rush. I was distracted explaining what I was doing and the kids were hungry so I was trying to do it quickly. Also use the right knife for the job. I have a couple of knives that I use specifically for cutting veggies but in my rush I grabbed a steak knife because it was just potatoes and like I said I was in a rush.
I don't mind. Tis but a scratch and hopefully later in life when he's cooking he learned a do as I say not as I do lesson.
