Quick Story

This summer, as often happens when you spend a lot of time at the pool, Camille got an ear infection.  Although only one ear was hurting, the nurse we saw thought both ears looked red and swollen, so we spent a few days putting drops in both her ears every morning and night.

One night I had sent her to bed and was all settled in to watch Buffy with Bentley, when a very sleepy Camille came wandering back downstairs to remind me about her ear drops.  I grabbed the bottle of drops off my computer desk and was shaking it up while I told Camille to lie on her side on the chaise lounge.  The lights were off, so I flipped them on right before I went to administer the drops since that's one thing you really can't do blind!  I was *this close* to putting them in her ears, when I realized something looked wrong with the medication.

I had grabbed a similarly-shaped bottle of ink.  🤦

I'm just glad I realized before I squirted black ink into her already infected ears!

Here she is, all better, and with her Grandpa's old guitar!
