I just rang her to ask if she needed me to do a couple of days respite care... Dad's 93 and very infirm and she needs to spend a couple of days with her sister who's just lost her husband to cancer...
I didn't expect to be told - by a very contrite Mum, that she'd accidentally mistaken Dad's antibiotic eye drops for another very similar looking small tube and super-glued one of dad's eyes together last night...
Of course she took immediate action and then called the paramedics who took him to the hospital where he spent the night.
Knowing that Dad is now OK and that my dear, dizzy Mum has owned up to it... I just can't help myself having a giggle - not at the ordeal that Dad went through just that ONLY MY MUM could do such a thing. ONLY MY MUM would have superglue and eyedrops in close proximity of eachother - I think I'm laughing in utter disbelief!!!
