Typical weekend call to my parents house, though the phone answered after a curiously long time:
Brother: “Alright weasel-boy” [we have call ID]
Me: “Alright monkey-pigeon, why are you answering the phone” [he rarely does]
Brother: “Haven’t you heard?”
Me: [Slight concern] “what?”
Brother: ” Well dad was chopping wood and… [Cue visions of missing fingers, blood and general gore]
… a piece of wood flew up and broke his glasses. He & mum have gone to get them repaired”
[Random discussions]








I bet that had you worried for a second!
Just a little. I am sure that the number of things you can do with an axe without resulting in blood loss are pretty limited.
