Sophia was blinded today in one eye.
She was an innocent bystander, and it wasn't even until after the primary event took place that the blindness took hold.
What happened was this. Some people got in a snowball fight. Actually it was more like 1 snowball per the other person's 25. Sophia was being used for protection from the onslaught and a snowball caught her directly in the left eye, or side-mirror, as it may be.
After a short jaunt to Muncie and halfway back, Sophie lost her eye. It just flew right off, banged against her side and was gone into the darkness of the night. Even streetlights couldn't illuminate where it went.
I was stunned. At first I didn't know what hit me (literally, the side of the car). Then, as I glanced at Sophie's left mirror, I saw nothing but a dry socket, nothing but a gadget with wires. No light. No reflection.
Once the shock wore off, I couldn't help but laugh. Of course this would happen to me and my lovely midnight blue beast. Poor Sophia. Innocent that she is.
But she will forgive me. It's too funny for her to hold a grudge. A SNOWBALL, people. One little snowball. Knocked out her eye.
