One morning he was clipping his fingernails into a cup. He didn't want to get up to clip them but he didn't want them all over the bed either (which I appreciated), so the cup was his solution. I, however, told him I thought it was disgusting that he was clipping his nails into a cup. It just grossed me out.
Fast forward to the late afternoon. Shane was still in bed and needed me to get him some pain medication. I got his pills and grabbed "the cup" off the night stand, not remembering anything from earlier in the day. I filled it with water from the bathroom faucet and gave Shane his pills without another thought. He thanked me and started drinking and then started spitting the water out, back into the cup. I thought he was doing this because I got the water from the bathroom faucet and not from the kitchen but it still seemed like a big reaction to me so I asked, "What's wrong?"
"Just take this away please." He frantically handed the cup out to me.
"Why?" I asked again, still not understanding, and then it hit me.
AGHHHHHHHH!!! SICK!
My dry heaves started to kick in and even more so as I dumped out the water and fingernails into the kitchen sink and had to wash them down. (okay, I'm still dry heaving as I type this. so gross!)
He claims he didn't actually drink any, he just happened to glance down as he started drinking and saw the fingernails floating all around.
So let this be a lesson to you...no fingernails in cups I tell you!
It's just safer that way.

That picture of Shane reminded me of someone...and the drug induced grossness? That too.
I always wish I was a Shumway when the Greer pictures come out.
Every year.
Oh that is horrible and funny! Good thing he discovered it before swallowing. I hope he is starting to feel better.
