Glasses?

I got a letter from Christian's school the other day saying that he failed two vision screenings that were performed on two different days.  Did I give Christian the Franks eyes?  I think so.  I'm secretly a little excited.  I didn't give Christian much but my ears and now eyes.  I always loved picking out new glasses.  I think I felt special in a way.  I started wearing glasses when I was in third grade and when I was in 5th grade I started wearing contacts.  Three years ago I had Lasik eye surgery and wouldn't change a thing.

Christian told me that only nerds wear glasses.  I explained to him that lots of people have to wear glasses.  I told him how almost everyone in my family has bad eye sight and how we've all worn glasses and contacts at some point.  Then I told him "Auntie Kara wears glasses (she just recently had Lasik), she's not a nerd is she?"  His response was "I see where you're going with this".  He cracks me up.  What a funny kid.  I think he's more open to the whole thing and we have an appointment next Friday for an eye exam.  We'll see what happens.
