I'm looking for his finger

So, today we had a little incident at my work that sent a few of us into a panic. But seriously, if you had actually been there you would have been laughing your head off, which is what I did before the whole thing was even over.

Scene: I am sitting in the back office trying to FEDEX a bunch of stuff to Corporate when Reggie(another manager) comes barging through the door.

Reggie: Blair, I need the accident report binder!

Blair: Why? What happened?

Reggie: Some kid was running around the free weights and they fell on top of his hand and I think it cut off his finger.

Blair: What? It cut off his finger?

Reggie: I don't know. All I know is he is screaming for his mommy.

Blair: How does a weight chop a kid's finger off. There's nothing even sharp on it.

Scene: Reggie and I head to the Fitness Pad where the incident occurred and I notice Alex(store manager) and the mother of the little boy looking around at the ground.

Blair: What are you guys doing? Is everythinig okay?

Alex: We are looking for his finger.

Blair(starts silently laughing): Did he really lose his finger?

The Mother of the Child: Oh no, sorry, he just ripped the skin off the tip of his finger.

Blair laughs and turns to Reggie and says: Hey, did you ever see that Friends episode where Chandler's toe gets cut off by Monica and she thinks she puts it on ice but it is actually a carrot?

Reggie: Yeah...That was a good one!!!

Blair: Yeah..it was!

So, needless to say, the little boy was fine and he just cut his finger. The mother shouldn't have let him run around. I had to call in the accident so we don't get sued later. This has now become a joke between all of us.
