Last night, there was a commotion at the other house - Langging's house. Because I heard my name being shouted for the third time, I went over there. I came upon this scene: Martin (7 years old), was yelling and crying his lungs out, his right hand extended and held by his mom for my view. There was an orange plastic toy with a hole in the middle fixed on Martin's right middle finger which has turned a little shade of blue inside.
What to do? I didn't really panic, I was thinking of something more morbid than this though, like Martin cutting his finger or a stapler attached to one of his fingers.
Langging held out an old cutter which she already used in clipping at some of the plastic toy's edges. Upon inspection, the toy was really fixed in placed, it was a little bit smaller than the circumference of the middle finger, and it wouldn't budge when I tried to pull it off. The crying only got louder and the finger got a shade bluer.
