You'll Put Your Eye Out

Here's what I have to contend with.

Scene:  Kitchen.  Late afternoon.  Mom just beginning to cook the evening meal.

Enter:  Lulu, obviously in pain

Lulu:  Ow, my eye!  It burns!  It buuuurrrnnnnsss!!!!!!

Me (nonplussed--accustomed to theatrics):  What happened?

Lulu:  I got soap in it!!!!!

Me (ready to get back to cooking dinner): Put a wet washcloth on it.

Enter:  Little sister

Pey (smug and feeling highly superior to her sister and tattles in a sing song manner):  Lulu was putting magic marker on her eyes.

Me:  Why on earth would you put magic marker on your eyes??

Lulu:  It's ok! It's the washable magic markers.

Me:  Once again, with a drawer full of Sephora makeup, why on earth would you put magic marker on your eyes???

Lulu (shrugging):  Not sure.  I had some time to kill.

And.  Scene.
