The Sair Finger

"You've hurt your finger? Puir wee man!
Your pinkie? Deary me!
Noo, juist you haud it that wey till
I get my specs and see!

My, so it is - and there's the skelf!
Noo, dinna greet nae mair
See there - my needle's gotten't out!
I'm sure that wasna sair?"

I somehow managed to get a skelf in my finger whilst cleaning the chest of drawers in my bedroom 5 days ago. Hubbie tried to get it out but it was far too sore and I think he ended up pushing it in further. My finger has been getting more and more sore over the past few days and is absolute agony now - think it's a bit infected. Yuk! I did let hubbie have another go at trying to find the skelf tonight but after lots of cursing and tears from me he had to give up.
