Ok, so why do they call it pink eye anyway?? I mean, their eyes are slightly glompy, but not pink in anyway. And people freak out when you even mention the phrase. I swear that everyone standing near me at the prescription counter took a step back when they were confirming what it was for. why don't we just make a tent outside where the children have to stay until they are better, like the lepers in the bible; they knew what they were talking about! And of course, if one has it, they ALL have it. My favorite part is chasing them down and laying on top of them while they shriek and cry as you put drops in their eyes. I am going to invent a way to do medicine without the drama. There has got to be a better way to do this!!!!

The mummy game:
(the scene opens on a frazzled mom and a very wary three-year-old)
Mommy: Ok, honey, we're going to play a really fun game called the mummy game! (aproaching with a sheet)
Three-year-old: (a step back in apprehension)
Mommy: Come on honey, it will be alright. (dropper bottle falls from hand)
Three-year-old: (shreeks and runs from room.)
Mommy: Come back here! You have to get your drops! I'll do it quick! It doesn't even hurt! (cajoling and finally cornering child in bedroom)
Three-year-old: (more screaming and pleading) IT HURTS! IT HURTS!
Mommy: I haven't even touched you yet!
(scene continues with Mommy wrapping Three-year-old quickly in blanket, straddling over top of of him/her and using elbow for blocker and other hand on other side of head quickly holds open eye while using mouth to squeeze drops into Three-year-old's eye.
Scene ends with both characters exhausted and crying on the floor.)
