Bad Experience with Mandarin Oranges

Well, not exactly with mandarin oranges themselves, but with the can they were packaged in. So I decided that I would like a snack of mandarin oranges before I went to bed tonight. Sounds harmless enough, right? I was talking with my mom on the cell phone as I was pulling on the tab of the pull-top lid of the mandarin orange can. The lid was kind of stuck, so I used more pressure to pull at the lid. Next thing I knew my hand slipped, my middle finger was sliced deeply and bleeding and mandarin oranges, orange syrup, blood, and my cell phone were all over the kitchen. When I cut my finger, my gut reaction was to pull my hand away ASAP, and doing that caused the whole mostly open can of mandarin oranges to be flung up in the air. So my PJs, arms, cabinets (top and bottom), floor, countertop, flour and sugar containers, knife holder, kitchen utensil holder, picture frame, coffeemaker, etc. were covered in oranges and syrup. What a mess! I had to wake Dan up (he went to bed early trying to get re-adjusted to Indiana time after being in Europe for 9 days) to help with the clean up. Stopping the bleeding and cleaning up the sticky mess took awhile. After all of the trauma, I still wanted mandarin oranges, so I carefully used our electric can opener on another can. It will be quite some time before I eat anything else from a can with a pull-top lid...
