I burned my thumb. My thumb is burnt.

You know that you should use tongs ("grabbers") to get small breads out of the toaster, but there aren't any grabbers within 3 inches of your hand. So you go for the toast and yelp with surprise and pain when a searing flash rips through the back of your thumb. You try to ignore it, but it really hurts. You run it under the faucet, then remember that the pressure can irritate your burn more.

You try to continue making your vegan BLT for tomorrow but your thumb keeps insisting on hurting. You subtly hint to your significant other that you are injured and need assistance. That doesn't work so you yell about how your thumb was burnt to a crisp. This gets him to the kitchen and he fills a bowl with ice water for you.

You sit for a few minutes with your hand in the bowl, getting very cold but still hurting. You keep trying to make your lunch, but your thumb keeps screaming in protest. You feel stupid because you can only see a tiny mark and you curse the toaster for making you feel this way. That toaster is lucky you don't throw it across the room and smash it into a wall. But you know, the hurt thumb and all.

Eventually you tough it out because it is late and you just want to go to sleep. Lunch made, you rest. When you wake up the next morning, your thumb has ceased to scream, but there is a more noticeable mark. Of course, nobody except you will notice it unless you point it out to them. And you're not going to point it out because they will ask why you didn't use the grabbers and you will have to explain that it is because you are a little retarded.
