Boys don't make passes at girls who wear glasses, but do girls who wear glasses make passes at boys?... HELL NO !! Not if it is my daughter.
Yes, we have surpassed the braces and retainer stage and reached the "Madam, your daughter needs glasses" To which my daughter replied, "Oh no, mommy, I'll be so ugly"
So there we were at the Optical Center. "What about these? or these? how about this one? Okay, this is the one. How much will that be? $400 DOLLARS! = thud= Okay I didn't actually faint, but apparently I grew pale. My daughter then said she wanted to look some more. What do you do in this situation? She is my daughter; she is a teenager; she is very concerned with fitting in and looking good. Gulp.
"Hey, Mom, I think these are better on me. What do you think?"
I look over at my baby. What I see is a two year old girl, wearing my high heels. A table cloth wrapped around her and fake pearls around her neck. She turns from the mirror and looks at me. My breath catches in my throat, she looks at me and I see an accomplished young reporter preparing for a high stakes interview. Her eyes flashing behind the frames of her glasses as she smiles ready to ask the killer question. I see the young bride looking up shyly at me as if to ask, is this okay? I see the young woman shaking her head at her brother coming to the dinner table in his underwear.
"They are perfect, even better than the first one, baby" She smiles her killer smile and says, rather loudly,
"And they are half priced!" I haven't done a cartwheel in so many years... I wanted to, but I restrained myself. Good job sweetie, now, off to Sizzler for lunch.
Peace and love to you all...
