"Ouch! Ouch! Oh, my foot!"
I had stepped on something.
"Mama?'
"What on earth, Bandershanks?"
"It's sticking m my heel. Oh!"
"I declare to my soul! Lemme see."
"Don't pull it out Mama! It'll hurt worser! Please! Please!"
"Mercy sakes, you've stepped on a horseshoe with two nails still in it!"
"What'll we do, Mama?"
"Pull it out and get you home so we can soak your foot in coal oil, that's what."
