Glasses just added to my "charm" of being the book worm and I was constantly teased as the "speckie" in the family. Now they all are wearing glasses! Look who is laughing now :)<br /><br />Also, here is the surprise I know you got one already but you deserve it <br />http://hajrak.blogspot.com/2011/04/as-kreativ-as-i-can-be.htmlHajrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07686684984746593155noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8300986105764385686.post-59347281244825302302011-04-28T07:34:13.408-05:002011-04-28T07:34:13.408-05:00Glad to hear from so many of you fellow "4 ey...Glad to hear from so many of you fellow "4 eyes" :D.

Glad it was just an internet blip.<br />I also have glasses but only need them for distance. İ take my glasses off to read. Seriously though, many children feel like you did.

I go the drug store and buy a pack of three. Once they're all lost or broken, I'll buy some more. I have one pair of "official" glasses, but I rarely wear them.<br /><br />Thanks for the chuckle.

I need bifocal contacts, can't afford them so I have to wear reading glasses with contacts. Hate it! So I only wear contacts when I dye my hair LOL Great story cath :)Kathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18378188552721155005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8300986105764385686.post-78638595322412972432011-04-27T04:17:29.106-05:002011-04-27T04:17:29.106-05:00LOL!
