When you were a kid...

When you were a kid...

...did you ever rub your eyes so much that spots appeared and when you opened your eyes you'd see the spots floating around?

I have the intense urge to do this right now, but because I'd probably contract pink eye, I'm resisting.

When I was a kid? psh... this STILL happens all the time.

But I also had lasik 4 years ago so I don't know if that has to do with anything.

HAHAHAHAHA, I used to do this as a little kid and then I'd turn to my dad and ask 'Hey dad, can your eyes do this?' and he'd get annoyed and be like 'Do what?' And I'd be like 'THIS!, duh!' and He'd get more annoyed and ignore me, lmao.

Re: When you were a kid...

i don't think that causes pink eye ... though i'm sure it's not good for your eyes anyhow

i see those spot thingies all the time

Haha me too. My eyes are really dry so I've been resisting the urge to rub them all day.

It doesn't, but everything I touch all day...doorknobs, money, computer things...can carry it, ya know?

I should go wash my hands really good in the bathroom and do it, LOL

Re: When you were a kid...

i hate when i get spots!!!! i always used to think they were 'germs' when I was little. I was like 'mommy i see all the germs' and she'd be like 'um, you can't SEE germs' and i'd be like 'no they look like this!' (and draw a bizarre picture)

Re: When you were a kid...

Ummm...you get pink eye from fecal matter making contact with your eye.

Are you trying to tell us something, Kris?????

Re: When you were a kid...

Please resist the urge to rub your eyes!! I have a very bad habit of doing that. That and the combination of my eyes being dry...I tore my cornea!

Dont do it...use some eye drops if they itch!!

Re: When you were a kid...

i suffer with really bad floaters & i constantly see spots so i am going to say don't do it. its really not that fun when you have those type of issues all the time.
