I wish someone had told me kissing was a full contact sport.
I would have worn appropriate protection.
You’d think after many happy years of marriage the husband and I would have perfected the technique, but alas…. accidents happen.
And this kiss was rather like a train wreck.
Yesterday when the other half came home from work, I went into the kitchen to give him a smooch.
I moved in, he moved in… and bam!
He broke my toe.
Talk about seeing stars.
And not in a good way…
Sadly, my feet are my worst feature and I have troubles. The troubles of a woman 30 years older than she actually is.
Bunions? Check.
The beginning of hammer toes? Check. (Thanks mom, it’s hereditary)
And I’m always barefoot in the summer so this isn’t my first rodeo with broken toes.
It is however, my first broken toe due to kissing.
Which makes me wonder if I need to wear this next time we get frisky in the bedroom…
(Minus the cigar of course.)
Either that…
Or I need to learn Taekwon-toe.
I know…
But I couldn’t resist!

Oh my word! I wasn’t expecting to see that when I clicked on your post. My eyes! My eyes!

My wife breaks a toe or two at least once a year. Luckily (?), I’m never at fault when she does.

This is the first time I’ve had help breaking one. Usually I do it quite well all by myself…

It usually takes a week to stop hobbling… another week till I’m back to normal. By which I mean permanently out of whack.

there is a reason why women raise one foot backwards while kissing, it reduces the probability of toe injury by 50%.

Pinky toes are USUALLY used to make sure furniture is in the correct position. Not to gauge kissing…

Agreed. I have a dining room chair that is constantly in need of realignment. Kissing is a first!

Oh my gosh River, sorry to hear about your kissing-toe. Did he step on you? I hope your not in too much pain, but if you are, liquor always seems to help. Margarita anyone?

He kind of rammed it with the edge of his dress shoe… and unfortunately yes, there is considerable pain. There is a Friday night of alcohol consumption planned though…

River,
It’s a good thing you’re not a vindictive soul. There are man appendages that can get broken as well–accidentally, of course. But if kissing leads to broken toes, I can only imagine what going past third base can lead to… Wishing you a speedy recovery and both of you, grace! Mona
