ouch

I would like to point out that this sticker/seed looks pretty ordinary and small:

UNTIL IT IS STUCK BETWEEN YOUR CHILD'S EYELID AND EYEBALL.

(he's fine, but I apologized to him all evening for the way I had to wrestle him to the ground and have his dad hold his panic-waving arms while his grandpa held his panic-thrashing head and I got the thing out)

Ow!!

That must have been awful! I'm pretty sure that's how I would have reacted, too, at that age. There was guaranteed drama when I had a splinter stuck in my foot, when I was a child-- so I can only imagine what would have happened if I'd had a sticker in my *eye*!!

Poor kid! (And poor you, too, having to be the brave one to get it out again!)

Oh poor guy!!! I'm glad it is out.

Eee. Poor kid.

That thought makes me absolutely CRINGE! That must have been awful for both of you!
