a few minutes ago i dropped my medication in my water cup. it made a pretty funny seen of me using the pen in my hand to try to pry it out but my effort was fruitless. this also made me re-realize that there's been some crap in the bottom of my drinking cup for a few days. lol, i drank it anyway. i used the pen again like you'd use a spoon to get a cookie that you mashed into the bottom of your milk. i hope this makes your day.
