Eye Bombing

My first date! I felt nervous like a teenager going out for the first time (that’s crazy right…). It has just been a while since I have been on a date. I’m really glad my first date is with my beautiful sister-in-law, Claire!
.Claire married my twin brother, Artie in 2014. I have no idea how she puts up with him (just kidding), but seriously he is a great guy and a big kid at the same time. Artie and Claire are fantastic to Killian. Artie drives me crazy with how much he eggs on Killian (a lot, like all the time) but that’s what Uncles are for, right? If it wasn’t for Claire I would have throat chopped Artie a few hundred times by now, she is an angel. Claire and Artie remind me that love is obtainable and there is somebody out there for everyone....no matter how quirky, geeky, out of the box, smart, or opinionated you are... as long as you are yourself!
Claire and I are going eye bombing!!! If you don’t know what that is, don’t feel left out. I didn’t know what eye bombing was before I made it as one of the dates. I was trying to come up with some really fun and different date ideas and decided googling “fun and unique dates” and eye bombing popped up. So I had to click on it. The pictures that followed my click made it impossible not to want to go on an eye bombing date (the lion statue & harry potter movie cover). Eye bombing is basically when you stick googly eyes on random things in hopes that other people will later see them and get a laugh.
Claire and I had a fantastic time! She surprised me with a beautiful bouquet of flower, pink roses the perfect spring time color! Guys these days don’t bring flowers on dates, hell you are lucky if you get phone calls instead of text messages so flowers were the last thing I expected from out of this date (such a wonderful surprise, come on what girl doesn’t like getting flowers!!!). Thanks Sis!!
Claire and I got ready to go eye bombing with our googly eyes and our Elmer’s glue sticks. It’s important to use glue sticks not super glue remember your trying to have fun not go to jail. When you go to put glue on your googly eyes you need to use a big chunk, you’re not making a scrapbook (it took us a few eyes to get it right). If you want those eyes to stick, channel your inner kindergartner and don’t be stingy with that glue! A partner is essential in eye bombing, like in most super hero movies, you can’t do it alone! You need a lookout and a bomber. The lookout covers the googly eyes with glue and watches the people around while the bomber discreetly places them onto whatever object you see fit to laugh at. Claire and I were ballsy… while on this date in the middle of the afternoon, on a main street, near a police station… (did not think that about that till putting googly eyes on a sign across from the police station & we discussed the possibility of going to jail for googly eyes… realizing it would be more like a fine & the eyes come right off but I had a moment of panic) maybe lucky would be a better word. I would most definitely recommend going in the evening and not on a main street across from a police station (just avoid police stations all together).
Eye bombing is a fun cheap date that will be a blast for you & your friends, family or significant other! You get to work together and laugh! You can even eye bomb your friends at random (if you have a key to their house or in their yard) it is great for prank wars. If your family is anything like mine… googly eyes aren’t so bad… (if you could only ask my cousin about the rubber snakes lmfao, I’ll tell you about that story another day). So what we learned from eye bombing…
1-Eye bombing must be done with a partner (or group)
2- It’s better to eye bomb at night
3- Avoid police stations
4- Use a lot of Elmer’s glue or those damn googly eyes won’t stick (but at least Elmer’s glue isn’t permanent or destructive)
