I beg to differ, Carmen’s papi.

Iwas told whenIwas younger eat carrots for good eyesight!!!!

I’ve worn glasses since I was a freshman in HS. My biggest mistake was wearing them every single day when I should’ve only worn them moderately. Now I have Velma Dinkley eyes whenever I don’t have my glasses on……..

Got mine in the fourth grade when I started squinting at the blackboard in school. I was told, only wear them for reading and watching TV… guess what my two favorite activities were?

I wore glasses from 5th grade through high school. Pregnancy changed my eyesight to where I didn’t need glasses for a year or two. After 3 more pregnancies, I didn’t have to wear glasses for years!! I am only just now, 6 years after the birth of my youngest, needing glasses for some reading, but only on occasion.

I never needed glasses because I listened to my mother and didn’t sit to close to the tv or watch it in the dark.

Wow! I’d forgotten that one. Was told that when I got glasses at 6 years old. “wear them full-time for a few years and never need glasses again!” Yeah that worked…I’m 63 years old and have worn glasses ever since then! lol

I remember being in school and wondering why the teacher even bothered doing whatever it was up at the board. In 4th grade the school brought in vision screening, and I was sent to the principal’s office because I said, “What apple, what table?” when asked, “Is the apple on the table?” They assumed I was being “whatever they assumed!” I was that bad! I got glasses in the 5th grade and could not believe it was possible to see what was written on the chalkboard or leaves on the trees!

So that’s how Carmen wore glasses in the first place!

Had that one given to me.
