This Is Why I'm Not A Doctor

Joel has a sty on his right eye lid that recently turned very large, very red, and very full of pus. So, tonight I decided to put a tiny bit of Polysporin on his lid. A bandaid wasn't go to stick, so I grabbed a cotton make-up remover and some medical tape. This is the best that I could do. You can actually see the fear in Joel's eye that I was going to do something much worse. When Joel saw me put on the vinyl gloves, he shouted out, "Oh no! Grey's Anatomy! I am dead!" and then he rolled his eyes back up into his head. At that point I began chest compressions which, I discovered, are difficult to do on someone who is laughing his head off. After I applied the make-up pad and the surgical tape, I brought Joel a mirror. When he saw himself, he exclaimed, "Johnny Depp! Pirates of the Caribbean!". And then he wanted to know if he got to wear the pirate patch to school tomorrow.
