Okay, so drama at the Brockbank house today. Abbie came to me crying saying she poked her eye. It was pretty bad, she couldn't even open her eye, and I kept trying to get out of her what she poked it with. After trying hard to look at it, I realized that about 1/3 of her eyelashes were gone on her left eye! As you see in this picture how beautiful and long they are, that is VERY TRAGIC! I started getting very nervous that she had scissors or something, I couldn't figure out what would take away all those eyelashes and not make her eye bleed. She was so distraught. I kept asking her what she poked her eye with and all she would say is, "It was a poker." I thought that was kinda funny. Anyway, after about 10 minutes (I had already laid her down to try to get her to calm down, I decided to look one more time because it just didn't make sense that her eyelashes would be gone and she didn't know what poked her eye or cut the eyelashes, I opened up her eyelid and realized that that 1/3 of her eyelashes were in her bottom eyelid. They were tucked in there and stuck against her eyeball! Can you believe that?! Her eyelashes are so long that they got stuck under her bottom eyelid. I think she must have rubbed her eye weird or something. So... luckily she still has all her eyelashes, and mommy took the poker out :) Have you ever heard of something so weird?

IT WAS A POKER

Ow! I hate it when I have just one tiny eyelash in my eye-I can't imagine 1/3 of my lashes in there! What a trooper that girl is! (By the way, I love her eyelashes...she is such a princess!)
Phew! I was getting sad for her for a minute! I am glad that they weren't actually cut off and only hiding. :)

Thank goodness it all worked out! This is Autumn, the friend of Andi's. Anyway, I love your blog and am moving to Eagle Mountain in a few weeks. We'll practically be neighbors!
