There is a reason for wearing safety goggles to bed...

I am already learning things about pregnant women I did not know before. When a pregnant woman become pregnant, she loses all sense of depth perception. Injury can and will occur if you ever forget this fact.

Melissa almost put my eye out this morning. She was trying to show me this very thin, faint pink line on the pregnancy test stick. I think she forgot how long her arm actually is or she forgot the test stick was actually in her hand, which she forgot adds length to her arm when outstretched in a pointing fashion.

After my eye stopped stinging,(I am not certain if it was from the poke or if she got pee in my eye) I got up, saw the little pink line. I could be mistaken, I could see little pink lines from the eye injury for the rest of my life, I am not sure yet. I may have to get an eye exam to make sure. I wonder if they make corrective lenses for "pink line syndrome?"

I did see the very faint almost invisible line. Could it be a false positive? Maybe, but I don't think so.

She will test again tomorrow. Tonight I am wearing my safety glasses to bed, and hope I won't need a hard hat the next time my pregnant wife gets excited.
