How to administer eye drops

I got infected with conjunctivitis and suffered for about a week.  Doctor gave three eye drops comprising of antibodies and eye lubricants.  However having them has been painful to begin with.  Tried various angles and finally realized the trick - the lashes.  Our eye lashes are so sensitive that the moment the drop touches them, they instruct the eyelids to close !!  So the trick is to put the drops directly into the eye without touching even brushing the eye lashes.  Here is a nice hand drawn picture for this occasion.


Writing this with one eye closed with a band aid is not at all funny :-(

Bloom's Taxonomy

Came across this citation on Bloom's Taxonomy.  What caught me is the way the terms are explaned; so simple but to the point.  Original

    Knowledge is accepting and believing a fact. Knowing 2 + 2 = 4, doesn't mean you know what 2 + 2 = 4 means.
    Application is knowing how to use the fact. You can determine that 2 cats plus 2 cats equals 4 cats. You don't know what 2 + 2 = 4 means, but you can apply it.
    Comprehension is understanding a fact: You understand the concept of addition and how 2 + 2 = 4.
    Analysis is breaking down information into its parts. 4 - 2 =2 ; (1 + 1) + (1 + 1) = 2 + 2 = 4
    Synthesis is Creating something new. (2 + 2) + (2 + 2) = 4 + 4
    Evaluation: Discussion of the merits of 2 + 2 = 4.
