P has been wearing glasses since last summer. Initially, I bought her 2 pair, and encouraged the Donor to make a donation for a 3rd pair. Of them all, her favorite pair turns out to be the most expensive of the 3, and she wears the everyday...And today, was the last day.
Today, they became a casualty: 
BROKE!!! Beyond repair. She goes for her annual eye test in a few weeks, and she'll have to wear one of her 'unfavorite' pair until the appointment. At the appointment, they have to dilate her eyes for the tests, and hopefully her crazy eye (her name for it) has improved. If not, she'll come home with a patch to wear over the opposite eye. She thinks this is a cool idea, because she can be a pirate.
Now we have to hunt for the extra pairs of glasses that I put away in case of emergency...I have NO idea where either pair are.

This afternoon on the way home, P and I had our regular everyday conversation:
Me: Did you have a good day today?
P: Yes, I had a good day. 'Cept for one thing. I swallowed a button.
Me: What?
P: I had it in my mouth at nap time, and now it's gone.
I asked her the question 'did you REALLY swallow a button?' about 5 different ways. Each answer was the same...'I swallowed a blue button'.
I'm not sure what to do now. Do I take her to see her doctor at the World's Busiest Airbase? Prune juice? Check the 'specimen'? Can it get stuck, and if it did, how will I know?
Unlike the extra glasses, at least I know where the button is!
