Leilani was disappointed that there were no lei-making classes offered that day, so we went out, collected flowers and made our own

Counting with her Fingers

Leilani and I baked a cake. She was about to whip the eggs with a hand mixer, and like always that was preceded by a lot of warnings…
Sonja: “May we ever put in the beaters while it’s plugged in?”
Leilani: “No, I could accidentally touch the power button and it might break my finger.”
Sonja: “Or worse…”
Leilani: “And then I could only count to nine with my fingers”

And just if you wonder why Sonja worries so much about fingers and such… watch this video of sawstop. No really, I have a very vivid memory of one of my friends cutting off a finger in his late teens with my dad’s saw. And a few other accidents involving bicycles and other rotating objects…
