I'm having trouble getting my contact lens out. I play at it with my finger, rubbing my eyeball and trying to pinch it off. I move the lens a bit, and bubble it up. But I can't grab it, it slips back. I rub at it again, squeezing it up, but again I can't grab it. It keeps slipping back onto my eye. I work at it for several minutes. I'm getting frustrated. I think about going to get a fork, but dismiss the idea as stupid. I bend down to wash it out under the tap, and as I do so,  I see my contact lens sitting there in the sink. It has been there all along.
