I
was in second grade at the time. My mom
had taken me for a visit to the eye doctor.
It turned out, as I’m sure we expected,
that I needed glasses. I could not see
the chalk board in the classroom, but I would have rather squinted than wear glasses.
So, we picked up my glasses, I still remember what they looked like,
they were pink. My parents told me that
I better wear them and I’m sure they gave me a bunch of reasons.
So, I guess they trusted me and thought I would be
following their instructions. They were wrong. And somehow, my Mom knew that I wasn’t
wearing the glasses and to this day I really do not know how. Well, she wrote a note to the teacher letting
her know that I had glasses and to be sure I was wearing them in class. Instead of the teacher pulling me aside or
being discrete about the glasses,
she read the note and said out loud to the whole class, “Loren, make sure you
wear your glasses.” I was so embarrassed!
