Ok, so today my younger brother managed to tear one of his toes open, because he smacked his toenail into the front door when he got home. It started bleeding all over the place, and it's turned this really disgusted black/purple colour. Now, over dinner, we were sort of talking about how this was going to affect his sports and I mention that it's starting to look almost necrotic, since it's this horrid colour, and then proceed to explain that it's because blood is collecting underneath the nail and drying.
At this point, my father turns to me and says that this is the most nauseating thing he's ever discussed with me at the dinner table. I make mention of the fact that, on several occasions, my mother, who works in the labor and delivery ward, has explained the logistics and techniques used when performing a Cesarean Section at dinner. Now, this is where this actually becomes a forum, because now my father says that, in all honesty, he'd rather discuss C Sections than mangled toes/fingers, since a lot of his own toenails were torn off during his youth, and he really just doesn't like the imagery/memories that come to mind.
And so, fellow Escapists, I ask you, what is the one topic that you have the most trouble discussing, either because you just don't enjoy the imagery attributed to the discussion, or due to too many unpleasant experiences regarding the subject, or really, for whatever reason?
