Today Zach comes home briefly to bring me a tea from Chick-Fil-A (one of my vices), such a sweet guy, and the following ensued.
Me: Aw, thanks cutie, aren't you sweet.
Zach: I have this thing on my lip, will you look at it. I think it's a blister or something.
I look at the "blister", unsure what it really is, i'm thinking he bit his lip.
Zach: What do you think i should do?
Me: Leave it alone, let it heal.
Zach heads to the back of the house, to the bathroom and i don't see or hear him for about 10 minutes.
Zach returns to the living room holding a piece of bloody toilet paper to his lip.
Me: So, you left it alone, eh?
Zach: I cut it off with the fingernail clippers.
(let me repeat that: He "CUT IT OFF WITH THE FINGERNAIL CLIPPERS"!!!)
Me: And you're wondering why it won't quit bleeding...
Zach: Maybe I could put some Liquid Band-aid on it.
Me: Hold ice on it for 15 minutes.
Long story short, he never "could" hold the ice on his lip for a full 15 minutes, so it never stopped bleeding. He had to go back to work. I hope it stopped bleeding. As i told him, I bet he's glad he clipped that little bugger off so no one could make fun of the blister on his lip. It will be much better explaining to his patients and co-workers that he clipped it off with the fingernail clippers, that's why he's bleeding profusely and has toilet paper stuck to his bottom lip.
The tea really hit the spot!

yeah, its the first book of his that i have read, andt i like it, i like his writing style
Awesome! You should submit the story to ABC - they'll make an episode of Grey's Anatomy out of it.
and yet another reason to add to my volumes of reasons of why they should put warnings on fingernail clippers about using them on your face....
That is so Zach.
that's disgusting, but I'm sort of in awe that someone would do that to himself. Maybe Zach's spending too much time at a hospital with kids who hurt themselves.
It's appauling to me that no one has recognized the CREATIVITY and general spirit of MANLINESS that Zach demonstrated in this situation. Life gave him a lemon on his lip and he cut it off. I applaud you Zach Newcomb and hope that your lip is still not bleeding...
wow...... Please don't give any ideas to my husband!
Hey peeps, we would LUVVV to get together. I called Brandon, not sure if I have your number though....... I thought we might have a get together for dinner or potluck or game night or lan party or baby kissing or all of the above.
Thanks! They are both feeling better now. Yeah.. no fever for Simey!
