Four Eyes
I have four eye envy.
Let me explain….
Back when I was 7 years old, I would often pretend I couldn’t see very well. Whenever I’d have to read with my mom, I would squint my eyes and press the book close to my face so my nose almost brushed the pages. This act became routine all because I so very, very badly wanted to wear a pair of eye glasses. A desire that had nothing to do with a colossal crush on the blond haired, glasses-wearing boy who sat next to me in Mrs. Head’s third grade class. Must have been a coincidence, right? Eventually, my mom took me to the optometrists of which after a brief examination, the only prescription I left with was a prescription to go to my room.
A few weeks went by, and my crush on blond haired boy rapidly dissolved, as crushes tend to do at that age. But at 27 years old, I still harbor a crush on eye wear. For some fun this afternoon, I did a some browsing online and found a handful of old school frames to my liking.
Even if they are merely for make believe…
Decisions, decisions……
I went to the eye dr. last week and he told me everything looked good, but if I REALLY wanted glasses I could get them. 🙂 It made me think of this. I told him about it and he laughed and said I would be surprised at how often that happens, especially with girls.
I’m jealous. Very jealous… 🙂
