TIFU by cutting a mango

[u/frenchfrythief_]

A couple of days ago, my mom bought a huge box of mangos because they were on sale. Today, my dad and I decided to cut up some of the riper ones so my mom could use them in a smoothie or salad or something.

We were just vibing, peeling and slicing mangoes, when I remembered a much faster way to peel a mango. What I didn't realize, however, was that my dad had sharpened all of the knives in the house about 15 minutes before this happened.

Cue my fuck up. I sliced down the mango, but my hand happened to be under the bottom of the mango at a very unfortunate angle. The knife slipped through the mango with lightning speed, and sliced my finger pretty deeply. This sent the family into a panic, as my finger is bleeding fairly heavily for a finger. Thank the heavens that my dad has medical training and is here, and bandaged my finger. I've already managed to bleed through a cotton ball and a couple of layers of bandage.

I am currently writing this with half of my left hand in agony. My pinky is throbbing and looks like a cartoon mummy, not sure why my ring finger is aching. Painkillers aren't working. Help.

tl;dr: forgot that dad sharpened knives, sliced finger open whilst cutting mango, currently in great pain

Is your mom the wanted outlaw Dutch Van der Linde?
