subconjunctive hemorrhage

bet you don't know what that is!

well, now i do.

it's what happens when you and your friend from next door decide that it would be a really good idea for one of you to sit at the top of the slide and hold one end of the slinky, while your friend goes down the slide holding the other end.

sounds like fun, right up until the part when your friend going down the slide lets go.

and the end of the slinky hits you -

in the eye.

in the eyeBALL, people, not just the eye.

and you break some blood vessels and half of the white of your eye turns bright red, and generally looks disgusting.

thankfully we didn't end up making a trip to the er. however, we will be postponing our christmas picture. :)

(pictures of sunny and his gorgeous eye forthcoming. :)
