Screws
I had been putting together a garden bench on the lawn. The bench was finished and all tools put away.

Half an hour later three year old son comes running into the house shouting that 18 month old sister had 'got a screws in her knee'.

Cue me running full pelt into garden scooping up daughter expecting to see blood / tendons / meat etc.

Nothing.

Just daughter holding knee.

Turns out that 'a screws' is a bit of a scrape and a bit of a bruise.
