Elijah woke up this morning with half of his eye red. I didn't think anything of it and went about our day. Later, I realized that his eye was more red and watering. This evening we went to Sam's. In between feeding Nathan samples at Sams I saw Elijah's red eye watering and he was trying to rub it. I began to think that Elijah had pink eye, so off to convenient care we go.
When we go to convenient care we started the "occupy my 2 year old while holding a baby" game. Thankfully I had a diaper bag stocked with toys. Nathan made his way through the diaper bag and eventually found a 2 step lipstick that I had. The lipstick has a shiny case that holds a clear and a color, they have to be unscrewed to open so I thought it was safe. Some people sat next to us and we started to chat. I actually thought maybe I could share Jesus' love with them. Nathan was sitting right next to me so I thought I was safe. FAIL
I turned and looked at Nathan. Nathan had unscrewed the color part of the lipstick and proceeded to cover the right side of his face with it. The whole waiting room looked as I declare "oh my." The girl I just met then reminds me, "isn't that the lipstick that doesn't come off?" Yes, it is. I tried my best to scrub Nathan's little face off with babywipes but I couldn't get any close to his eye off. It looked like he had an accident and got a bad black eye.
When we finally got back to the exam room, the doctor even declared "what did he do?" when he saw Nathan. Elijah is fine by the way, he scratched his cornea and should be better tomorrow.
The only pink eye in this house is the lipstick induced kind.
