Mac 'n Cheese

"Can you get the sliver out of my finger?" Logan asked.

"You told me I had to wait until tomorrow," I reminded him.

"No, I want you to do it now," he said, with an apparent but reluctant change of heart.  "You said it wouldn't hurt."

I lied.

"I said I would do my best not to make it hurt," I warned.

"Okay.  I don't want blood to shoot out my finger," he said, carefully examining the splinter.  "...or macaroni and cheese," he added.

Me either.  I'll do my best but I don't know how good that will be.
