My wife wanted to join in on the fun. Here are two scar stories from her.

The first, starting in the middle of her second toe and to the base of her big toe, happened when she was 3 or 4 and living in Nicaragua. It was raining (as it does during the rainy season) and her mother always told her not to go out without shoes. She didn't want to take the time to put them on so she ran out barefoot and as soon as she jumped in a puddle formed by roof runoff, she cut her toes on a can lid. Her mother rushed her to Dr. Manah (they all called him Dr. Mango) who bandaged it up and gave her some shots.

The second, a slice on her hand similar in shape to the one on my knuckle, happened at bath time when she was about 8 and living in Texas. Not paying attention, she got into the tub and put her hand down on her mother's razor that was on the edge. She sliced it, got lots of blood and a trip to the ER. She remembers feeling bad because before that it had been such a fun evening.
