Hey squints, what are you looking at? I was just thinking about something. What's that? How do kids know that they need glasses? Honestly, they usually don't. A lot of times a teacher suggests they get their eyes checked. Have any of my teachers suggested it and you not taken me? Of course I would take you. Why are you asking? Because I think that I may need glasses. Are you sure this isn't about wanting those big glasses everyone is wearing right now? What are they called? Hipsters? Mom! This is not about being a hipster! Okay, well if you really think that you might need them then we can take you to get an eye exam. Well, I don't know if I do. I mean, how do you know if you do? Well, do you see things that are blurry? Can you read things? I don't think I see blurry, but I've never needed glasses, so how do I know what blurry looks like? Honey, you're starting to confuse me. Can you see or can't you? I don't know mom! What is seeing like? You are so dramatic sometimes. Mom, this is serious! What if I need glasses and I start driving next month and I don't pass my class because I can't see, then I can't drive, then I'll be the only 16 year old with no license! What made you think about this in the first place? Well, Callie showed up with these really cute glasses and I just started thinking: "how would I know if I needed them?" So, it is about looking cute? You know they have non prescription glasses just to look cute. I know, mom. But people with real glasses make fun of people that don't need them who wear them. Honey, can you see or not? If I squint really hard I can't. That's because your eyelashes start to get in the way... if your eyes are open can you see? Yeah, I guess I can. Awesome. Now go do your homework.
