  There was a young guy, from Toronto, just this past Lag B’Omer, who lost an eye in a fireworks mishap.

  I know a 12 year old boy who accidentally stabbed himself in the eye with an old bent metal wire. (His eye was OK, thank God. His mother was not OK).
  When you’re a parent, you live in constant fear that your kid will get hurt. So you say stupid things like “Don’t jump on the couch- you can get killed that way.”
  Sorry, but you’ll hear yourself saying it too someday, Hesh.

  Hesh? No, never….

  That’s what I said to my date from Shulamis.

  Whenever my kids make funny faces and lift their eyelids all the way up and roll their eyeballs back showing only the whites, it takes all my self control not to tell them that if they’re not careful their eyes will freeze and stay like that forever. I think that’s another standard “parents trying to scare you” line.

  I didn’t go to Shulamis, but my response is not poked out and related to I C E ’s. Welcome back, dude! About freakin’ time!

  Eyes do get injured. When I was a young mother, a neighborhood kid lost sight in an eye when kids were playing with rocks.

  Is that from the Geico commercial?

  “…and nobody poked an eye out”

  I don’t like it and, lulei demistafina, have never said it. But I have said - to friends, not children - It’s all fun and games until someone loses an eye.

  yes, back in ‘75 I was hospitalized. The kid in the bed next to me was there b/c his brother poked out his eye with a fork.

  Like that ice guy. Nice to see you again. Oh and btw, we did have an eye incident in our family, but Thank G-d, the eye is still there. It is unlikely so I use the ever popular:
  “I am completely not interested in a trip to the emergency room today? Are you? Huh? Last time, you were bleeding so much you didn’t even enjoy the sirens!”

  During 3rd grade recess (don’t you miss that? not 3rd grade, but recess!) me and my friend were sword-fighting with sticks. I scratched him just under the eye. Parents say “you’ll poke your eye out” because eyes are soft membranes that can easily get popped by projectiles and other things.

  “b/c his brother poked out his eye with a fork”

  Is his brother a serial killer now?

  i had my eye taped shut for three months when i was 7 or 8 due to a rock incident but it was far from being popped out.

  ‘Don’t do that you’ll break your neck’ was very popular in my house growing up, and while its possible in theory how many kids break their neck jumping on a bed?

  For some reason I have these visions of eyes rolling down the sidewalk with screaming children clutching their eye sockets chasing them down the block.

  And don’t forget the old standby of “your face will get stuck that way forever.”

• 16 FJB // Jun 17, 2008 at 1:22 pm

  Yes, sharp things can damage/pop eyeballs. So it may not “pop out” but it can.
  It just sounds more dramatic that way, I guess.

  I personally know someone who is blind in one eye because someone threw paperclip at him when he was 12 years old. Very sad. So yes, it can happen.

  I have a scar on my eyebrow because my brother hit me in the face with a large plastic dreidle.
