Sneak that thing in at the very last minute, just before the cashier is scanning it, get you mom’s attention and it’s all yours… just remove it when you get home.
I remember as a small child in the mid-sixties, really really wanting the cat’s-eye-with-rhinestones glasses. (Hey—they were shiny, and I was three or four years old). The optometrist would always say, “Oh sorry honey, we don’t have those anymore.” What he meant was, your mom will kill me if I let your choose those! Also I think they were for older women, not in kids’ sizes.

I get the colors……it’s the different lens colors of the glasses Calvin is trying on. Very clever.

They say to choose glasses that complement your head shape – guess hair shape would work too.

They never do seem have taste, Calvin. Never have and never will.

The ones he picked remind me of the elderly woman from the Far Side. . . .
