I’m so glad you commented! This is one of my favorite stories, and I still share it with people all the time. And nail clipping is still one of my least favorite parenting chores. Ha. Thanks for reading, and don’t forget your safety goggles from now on.

It didn’t take me and my husband(he gave me a weird look also) 10 hours to flush it out but the 45 mins it did take was horrible. The fact that it came out cleaner than I’m sure it went in is what sent me to google. I’ll be wearing safety goggles next time I cut little man’s nails.

@Amber, Weird ailments are kind of a specialty of mine, but this one is the weirdest. I am glad, at least, that it was both funny and weird. 🙂

@Jennifer G., It’s okay to laugh. It’s too crazy NOT to laugh!

My apologies for the slow reply. I was away from the computer for a few days last week, and things just got away from me!

@Alexandra, Ahhh. Sorry I never responded. Last week got away from me.

I love, love the idea of fake glasses. That’s way better than the actual safety glasses Mark suggested I wear!

I think you’re pretty lucky that the eye is well after the 10-hour ordeal!

This is serious biz, you know. Scared me to death the first time one rocketed into my eye.

@joann mannix, The poop. Nobody can prepare you for the places that stuff will end up. Blech.

My little one complains bitterly when I change his diaper and just look at him and say, “I did not wake up today thinking, ‘Yay! I get to change dirty diapers today!’ This is no party for me, either, buddy.”

He is unsympathetic to my plight.

PS – So glad you can see again! 🙂

@Amy ~ Eat. Live. Laugh. Shop., I know! I knew parenting would have its pitfalls, but never could have imagined this… I highly recommend getting yourself a pair of safety glasses. 🙂

I’m looking forward to meeting you in a couple weeks, too!
