Twitch:
Having spent many years working in kitchens (slicing, burning, and bludgeoning my hands into stumps of scar tissue in the process), I have something of a sick fascination with wounds like the one your future Mrs. is enduring. In this particular case, my fascination is with the fact that she managed to do so much damage while cutting an avocado, which, in my experience, is generally a fairly soft and forgiving item.
What's the story behind the gorey? Sick minds want to know....
FF,
She runs the dietary program at an assisted living facility. This involves doing a lot of the meal prep. A secondary dream has been to also go to culinary school...
She's one of those types that can put a head of cabbage on a cutting board, go all ginsu on it, and have coleslaw in like 10 seconds.
She also prefers to hold things in her hand when cutting/trimming them; tops off radishes, peeling potatoes with a knife, not a peeler... etc.
In this case, she was de-pitting avocados with a paring knife. Slice in half, stick blade under pit, flick it out, then peel out the guts. As she tried to flip out one of the pits, the whole shitaree slipped in her hand, and wha-la, fillet-o-finger.
