Where are my Glasses?

I remember the day I discovered my eyes weren't what they used to be! My son, who is 20 now, was around 9 years old and I was trying to read the bottom of children's Tylenol to see the dosage.

It was a blur and even as I held the bottle further and further away, for the life of me, I couldn't read it? Did this happen overnight? Did some jokester start printing the instructions smaller as a cruel joke?

I have no idea! It just seem to happen without any warning. That was 11 years ago and I guess I am blessed to need only reading glasses (I tried the $300 prescription glasses and found I could misplace them just as easily as I could a $10 pair from Wal-Mart) and not such a bad strength.

But how does that happen? One day I'm reading the fine print and the next day I am holding the large print as far as the length of my arm to read.

Wooo Boy can I relate to this! LOL One day about 10 years ago, I was trying to read the back of a make-up bottle and feeling very angry at the fools who would print things sooo small that no one could POSSIBLY~wait a minute~I walked over and tried on some cheap reading glasses~oops~welcome to 40. Well, next month I turn 50, and I surely do need my prescription glasses! LOL
