We’ve all had those groggy, late-night moments where we grab the wrong thing—like mistaking sugar for salt or hitting “reply all” on an email. But one mom’s mistake takes the cake—or, rather, the glue.
Meet Jennifer Eversole, the TikTok mom who became internet-famous after accidentally gluing her eye shut. Yep, you read that right. One moment of distraction, and she found herself in a sticky situation—literally.

Jennifer explained how it all went down. Picture this: It’s late, you’re half-asleep, and you fumble around your bedside table for eye drops. Except, instead of soothing relief, you grab a bottle of nail glue and—well, you can guess the rest.
“Well, I’ve done it. I’ve officially won the idiot award,” Jennifer said, covering her left eye and looking equal parts exasperated and amused. “My eye drops and superglue are the same size. I wasn’t paying attention, and now my eye is glued shut.”
The mishap didn’t just end with a glued eye. Jennifer had to call an ambulance and endure the added discomfort of her other eye straining to stay closed. “It’s scratchy and miserable,” she added, half-laughing, half-crying.

Even the hospital staff were baffled. Jennifer laughed as she recounted their reactions: “They told me they’d never seen anything like this before!”
Naturally, TikTok was flooded with curious comments. One follower asked the burning question (pun intended): What does it feel like to glue your eye shut? Jennifer didn’t sugarcoat her response.
“Intense burning. It felt hot—really hot,” she said. “I shut my eye fast, which might’ve been a blessing in disguise since it didn’t spread to my eyeball.”
Thankfully, Jennifer’s ordeal has a happy ending. She shared an update, reassuring everyone that her eyesight was on the mend. “I’ll be back to 20/20 vision in a few days. My eye is healing nicely!”

As for lessons learned? Jennifer’s taking no chances. “In the future, I’m getting brush-on glue. And I’m keeping it far, far away from my eye drops!”
So, what’s the moral of this sticky story? Read the labels, folks. Whether it’s your coffee creamer, cleaning spray, or eye drops, always double-check. Because, let’s face it, none of us want to end up like Jennifer—laughing, crying, and glued shut.
