When I was about 6 or so, I was playing at my friend's house when her brother (maybe 4yo) started playing on a recorder (the hard plastic instrument little kids often play in school music class). He started running down the hallway in play and ended up falling down face first, impaling the recorder down his throat. I remember looking on in horror as he got up, just the tip of the recorder visible in his mouth, and then, somehow, (not sure how, maybe his mom, but I think maybe it was him) the recorder was pulled from his throat and there was BLOOD EVERYWHERE. He tried to talk, but there was no sound, just his terrified little eyes and more blood.
I was not a child to run away, but I was so terrified, I ran out of their house & hid behind a neighbor's line of bushes. I know his mom rushed him to the hospital immediately (maybe called an ambulance?) &, thank God, he was treated & ended up recovering. But, it has stayed with me all these years, as one of my earliest memories. I imagine he remembers it, too.
Anyway, my point is that it was a bloody scene, this mouth/throat impalement, & while he couldn't make a sound, you'd better believe those of us who witnessed it were screaming. So, if something similar happened to Willow (which I believe the stick story is cow excrement, IMO), there would likely be lots of blood, especially if Willow or the uncle pulled the impaled stick back out, in a panic. This would also explain the story going around about the 3yo brother being hysterical, although witnessing a murder would clearly explain that, as well.
I still call hogwash on the uncle's story. But, I felt compelled to share my experience of witnessing something akin to the "fell on a stick" story.
