Maybe he didn't like the way I made his eggs that morning

D: You need to watch The Boy now. He can reach the counter.
Yeah, whatever.
So I'm on the phone in the living room the other day and suddenly I feel like I am being stabbed. Because I was.
There was The Boy. Stabbing me in the leg with a paring knife. And giggling. Thank God it was a cheap-ass IKEA knife. I sure am eating my words now about all those times I complained that the damn thing couldn't cut a slice of Wonder Bread.
D: So where did he get you?
K: Disturbingly, his rapid motions were aimed at my femoral artery. If he had been successful, it would have taken a tourniquet and I probably would have bled out anyway by the time we got to the hospital. And he isn't even remotely remorseful. I'm his mother who adores him. And what do I get? A stabbing?
D: A future felon?
I waited for it.........................................................
D: I told you he could reach the counter.
Yes you did.
