Peeing in the road
We were joking around at work today, teasing one of my co-workers that she has pinkeye. (She really doesn’t.) Of course, I immediately heard my grandmother’s voice in my head saying “You’ll get a stye in your eye if you pee in the road!” I’ve actually mentioned that to Rodd a couple times in the past, but it appears to have been a uniquely Midwestern superstition. Have you ever heard it? I know I’m not the only one; there are a ton of Google results. What a funny thing, huh?
Important Note
This site features content going all the way back to 2000. The posts you’ll read reflect my views and writing style at the time. While I have gone back to clean up a few of them, I think it’s important not to sanitise too much. This site is a record of who I am and how I’ve grown. Any blog post written years ago may not reflect who I am today, nor how I would write about the same topic today.
