It’s very shocking to have a part of your body “chopped”!

That’s what happened with Ariel Winter, she revealed that she was cooking some greek food, and accidentally cut off a piece of her thumb “the top” and she was shocked when she saw this happening.

She said that she was cutting some onions and peeling tomatoes and then her thumb was sliced.

Winter, 22, said: “I was trying to make Greek food because I’m Greek… and I had chopped four onions just before I chopped this one thing. Chopped four onions and it was great. I just got new knives too,”

Then, “The Modern Family” actress went to the hospital after she bled so much, her boyfriend took her to the nearest hospital and took the piece of her thumb with him. The nurse gave it to her in a plastic bag. However, she threw that bag away as she did not realize what was in the bag.

“I mean, it’s the top of my thumb, it definitely hurt and it wasn’t fun and it was a good portion of it,” she said. “But at the same time, they took great care of me, I was bleeding a lot, but again, it’s my thumb. So many people are in there for so much worse.”

However, Winter took the situation positively and she was even joking about it. “will have just a mildly sad-looking thumb” Winter said.
