I did something the other day that I haven't done for years. I cut my leg shaving. Well, not just my leg, but pretty much my entire right ankle bone. It hurt worse than getting my tattoo and made the shower looked like a scene from "Psycho". It really freaking hurt. This gross story has a point, so keep reading. The whole painful episode reminded me of my mean sister, whom I love and adore now, but was the bane of my existence growing up. She is 2 years older than me and when I started shaving as a teenager, she gave me this (not so) great advice: Press down with the razor as HARD as you can when you are shaving your legs.
There I was with my pink, Daisy disposable, pressing down with all my might as I dragged the blades over my shins and knees.
You can still see the scars.
Revenge is best served cold, as they say, and I got mine. She had this loser boyfriend named Randy White and I wrote her initials plus his initials = love on the basement wall, right where my mom was sure to see it. In pen. She got sooo busted!
So, the recent wound on my ankle still hurts, but it also brought back a sweet memory.

roflmbo.. I did that with a razor once but purely by accident. I looked away and took a nice line of meat and flesh right off the front of my legs.. that crap HURTS
Not only do those cuts sting, mine bleed like S.O.B.s! And there is nothing so attractive as bits of tissue stuck to your legs.
Your story about getting back at your sister made me laugh, and wonder what memories my kids will have like this.
Then I shuddered to think what traumatic psychological warfare they've already unleashed on one another.
I have childhood memories of my mom running around while getting ready for work with tiny bits of tissue sticking everywhere on her legs from shaving. It makes me smile thinking about it!
I did something VERY similar two days ago.
Sometimes I wish I had an older sister now, but I am definitely glad to have missed out on those sibling moments when I was younger.
oh wow, this made me cringe! I hate it when I cut myself shaving. Cannot imagine pressing that razor down so hard, esp. a disposable! oy!
Okay, I FLIPPIN LOVE this story!! First of all, I almost threw up in my mouth thinking of the cuts! Secondly, I would have lOVED to see the screaming that ensued with her swearing she didn't do it... pointing at you. Did your mom believe you, or her?
