Who Knew

I didn't know. I really didn't. In fact, I'm still kind of in shock.


You see, I was with my friend Denise on Saturday and she made this statement. "You know that your eyes begin to change when you're 40." To which I smugly replied, "Ya, but I'm not forty yet. That's you and Jack that are forty." To which she said, "Just try these reading glasses on." To which I said, "Ya, but I'm NOT forty yet." To which she said, "Just try."


So I tried them on.


You've.GOT.to.be.KIDDING.me.


I put the glasses on, and read a sentence and it was AMAZING. Like, the words were NOT fuzzy. They were AS.CLEAR.AS.CRYSTAL. It's unbelievable. How long have I been struggling to read and I didn't even KNOW it.

We laughed a good belly laugh and realized that 39 and 2/3rds is probably pretty close to 40 ... and so, my eyes have begun the downward slope. No way.


The upside is, there are some REALLY cute reading glasses out there. So I'm now on the hunt for 1.25 ... and square. We decided that look suited me. Made me look, well, FORTY. And if I'm going to have 40-year-old eyes, I might as well look like a sassy 40-year-old, right?
