A Black Locust tree thorn. It went through my cheap flip-flop sandal and about an inch into the arch of my 6-year old foot. All I really remember is the throbbing, which went on for a long while, and the fact that it didn't bleed much.
Not too traumatic - probably because of the lack of blood - but the memory has certainly stayed with me. I have a healthy respect for Black Locusts now too!

Just reading this hurt my foot. I couldn't imagine what it was like as a child.
