The Eye Drop Discussion

"But, I didn't want to have an eye drop time today..."
"I know... but you need your eye drops."
"But, IIIiiiii don't think I need them... my eyes aren't dry or red or itchy; not even one little bit!"
"We go through this every time, Day, and you know these drops are for your Diabetes Insipidus and not, at all, for any symptoms involving your actual eyes."
"EXACTLY!!! So, WHYYY put the drops in my EYYYES??!!! You KNOW that I don't even like having drops, at all... well..... unless they're going to be gumdrops. I like gumdrops! Can we just have gumdrops instead today? And then maybe we could go outside for a play and then we could come back in and check the bag again, just to see if we maybe missed any and if there still might be just one more hiding that I could have and be just so happy... so GUUUUUMDROP HAP-PEHHH!!!!!"
"Day, you do realize that eye drop time would already be long behind us if we had just gotten it over with right away."
"Eye drop time??! But, I thought we just decided we were having gumdrop time instead..."
"No, you decided... I know that we still need to get these drops in."
"I like gumdrops...."
"I know you like gumdrops but, enough with the gumdrop distractions... it's time. Now, look waayyyy up at the ceiling, just a quick drip-drop and..."
"No, but wait! ... Um, if you're really not up for the gumdrop plan, I'd be willing to give a few lemondrops a try....."
"Done!"
"What??!"
"All done. You are good to go, Dude. I snuck the medicine in fast while you were all dreamy-eyed over your gumdrop/lemondrop plans."
"You SSSNNUCK it in???!!"
"Yep."
"Without my permission???"
"Sorry... had to be done."
"Mamas are so unfair... grumble, grumble....."
