Annoying testing just like new math. Sally was right.

Oopsie Doopsie Ex Foopsia is a disease where you constantly say stupid things that end up costing you a career. It is mostly found in those who are in politics.

OOPSY DOOPSY!

I know you mean well, Charlie Brown. But don’t stress her out like that.

LOL xxx

This is a bad year for Sally; spoiler alert: she does indeed have Amblyopia and she loses Linus (temporarily).

I think I may be coming down with oopsy doopsy ex foopsia.

Actually, back in the mid-60s “lazy eye syndrome” was a big deal. There were even children’s books written to encourage kids to tell their parents if they couldn’t see clearly, and to encourage parents to get their kids tested for that and other vision problems. I was given my first pair of glasses at age 3. At that time, a small child with glasses was “weird” and came in for a lot of classroom teasing. Nowadays, you may even see babies a few months old with glasses. I’m sure Mr Schulz was trying to do his bit for parental awareness.

They just came out with a pill for that!!

One of American health care’s modus operandi – keep renaming conditions. Another is, take an ordinary physical condition and give it some ooky sounding name so it can be treated at high, and hopefully chronic, cost.

My father forced my brother to wear glasses, of course the optometrist had some that he just had to wear. It must have worked, he threw them away in college, is ready to retire and hasn’t needed them.They insisted I needed special lenses for a slight astigmatism, I finally said “no more” and my far sight is better than ever, I may not even need glasses to drive now.I am sure that many kids were helped, but I wonder how many didn’t really need them………

Poor Sally!

Yeah, Oopsy Doopsy Ex Foopsia! It’s a rare disease. Don’t google it though, it’s so rare not even google knows about it
