one time when i was about 8 i used my mother's face cream (trying to be a grown up) and i got some in my eye and it hurt and stung. i told my brother about it and he told me i was going to go blind because of it. i didn't sleep all night and finally woke up my mom crying about how i would be blind before morning!
