[blparent] Eyedrops?

[trishs]

I can remember my mom having to put drops in my eyes for most of 
my child hood.  It was horrifying watching that drop dangle at 
the end of the bottle, knowing it was landing in my eye!  I 
finally became old enough to convince her to allow me to do it by 
myself, and that was much better!
