Why Every Mom Needs an Eye Clops
For those of you unfamiliar with the magnificent magnifying fun that is the Eye Clops Bionic Eye , let me introduce you.
This little doodad can magnify anything up to 200x right up on your television screen. Amazing, no? It’s true, take a gander at this sucker.
This was taken in March when the tween had a bout of head lice. Yep. This is what head lice looks like magnified 200 times. This is a digital photo of my TV screen displaying the Eye Clops in all it’s glorious magnification action. Needless to say, seeing one of these buggers up close made us all feel a little worse about having an epidemic sized population living right on my daughter’s head. It made me want to put her entire upper half in one of those bio-hazard bags and rush her to the nearest treatment center. But being able to zoom in on those suckers as I was plucking them out of her head with a fine toothed comb, was integral in the diagnosis. I mean, there was all that itching and the crawling things in her hair were almost a dead giveaway, but this confirmed it. Proof positive head lice exist and are not a myth created by pharmaceutical companies to get you to buy really pricey pesticide shampoo.
The Eye Clops was actually quite a hit at our house. This famous little gadget Santa bestowed upon us just last year.
As if that’s not a good enough reason to put one on your child’s Christmas list, consider this. If you put an Eye Clops right up to your face, you can see right down to every single pore on your cheek. It’s fascinating. Really. Viewing every single crack, every single speck of dirt, every single black head, every single oily follicle, every single errant hair up on a 50 inch screen. Who wouldn’t want to see that?
Because we women need to be able to count every single strand of hair growing on our upper lips. That harmless peach fuzz we tend to ignore on a regular basis, up close looks like an Amazonian rain forest. It’s quite lovely. You almost expect to see a flock of colorful macaws taking flight from their branches.
It’s like nature, hideously growing out of your face.
Really, it will do wonders for your self esteem.
Ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww.
