Who would have thought?

Nate got a splinter yesterday & it broke off deep in the palm of his hand. We just left it overnight hoping that it would work itself out. Today after school it was swollen. I squeezed it, hoping that maybe the wood splitter would come out but it did not. I felt bad because I squeezed/pushed pretty hard trying to get it out.

Jim checked the internet tonight & one suggestion was to pour hydrogen peroxide on the splinter, wait (didn't say how long) & then it said the splinter would work it's way out. So we gave it a try, we poured the hydrogen peroxide on the splinter, waited a couple minutes. We figured it would take overnight but when I pushed on it after just a couple minuted, the splitter came out really easy...we were all shocked that it worked...so there is our tip for the day...pour hydrogen peroxide on any splinter, wait a few minutes & just like magic it will come out!
