A Poke in the Eye

Starr poked herself in the eye with her laptop the other night. She was facebooking (coincidence?) when the cat startled her and *boink* the left corner of the screen went right into her open right eye.

Screaming, with her had over her eye, she was terrified that she had poked her eye out with her MacBook, while at the same time uncontrollably laughing hysterically at the silliness of the accident. I was concerned but also laughing, because I saw the whole thing and it was hysterical. I am such a bad  mom…trying to comfort her, trying, and failing, to stop laughing.

Afraid to remove her hand from her eye, she wondered if she could make eye patches cool. Stylin’…people would start wearing them as fashion accessories. She could design a whole line of them…make a fortune.

Fortunately, as she bravely spread her fingers and peaked out, she found that her eye survived the assault…she could see. Her eye was red, but otherwise seemingly fine.

Whew.

Eye patch designs quickly forgotten.
