The Fan and The Finger - Childhood Story
Manage episode 434095270 series 3293377
When Grandpa was a seven year old boy in 1964 he visited his Aunt Charlotte and Uncle Bob in Cheboygan Michigan.
Upstairs in a hot room a fan was spinning trying to cool the room and boys were playing and the fan was interesting.
As Don was considering putting his fingers into the fan, perhaps to slow or stop it, his cousin John held up his finger that wasn’t! A few months earlier part of his pinky finger was lost by putting it into the very same fan that Don was exploring. Since then Don has considered fans to be spinning knives for cooling or clearing the air. Not as toys!
His message to his children, his grandchildren and all children is the same. Fans chop and mutilate fingers when they are misused.
