C-Dogs glasses

On Saturday I was driving my truck when I looked in the rear view mirror and saw Christopher wearing Philips glasses in the back seat. They are prescription glasses so I asked him to stop playing around. Christopher said, "I can't see, I need glasses too."

Kimberly is a much kinder parent than I am, she set an eye exam appointment at Empire Vision. We pack all 4 of us off to Empire Vision for a 6 pm appointment on Wednesday night. Our appointment was the last of the night for the Dr., we get called in at 6:45.

20 minutes later a very frustrated eye Dr. comes out. "I couldn't get a prescription for him because he kept pretending he couldn't see. Every adjustment I gave him, he pretended he couldn't see. Finally I told him to cut it out, and read the darn letters." Right about then, C-Dog experienced the miracle of sight, he could read the letters. The Dr. said "I wrote him a prescription that will let him get glasses but won't hurt his eyes... in case ;) he doesn't need them. Come back on Thursday after 3:00 to pick up his new glasses.

Wednesday night, Christopher asks if I will pick him up early for school, since picking up his glasses is kind of like a Dr.'s appointment. Allison agrees to pick him up the moment school gets out to take him.

When Christopher gets out of school he tells us that he didn't do his computer class. When it was time for the kids to go, Chris told the teacher "I have Dr.s instructions that I can't use a computer without my glasses." The teacher told him to read a book instead and he did.

Finally C-Dog gets his crystal clear glasses.... an hour later he is at I Love NY Pizza with his very patient sister Allison. He goes to the soda machine to fill his cup, but pauses. He reaches into his pocket, pulls out the shiny case, and puts on his glasses to read the labels on the soda machine so he can fill his cup with Pepsi.

As I laugh about all of this, the best part was the face of the Dr. when he came out of the exam. Next time I am getting him a white cane and a Labrador retriever. The over/under on the glasses is one week.
