…that when I went to the eye doctor yesterday to get contacts for the very first time ever, and the lady teaching me how to put them in and take them out said, “Wow, usually it takes people an hour to learn how to do this, but you learned really fast!”, that I felt an immense surge of pride in my superior contact-putting-in-and-taking-out skills?
Or, on second thought, is that just kind of sad? Just like the fact that yesterday evening I took a shower, got dressed to go out, did my hair, put in my contacts, put on my glasses, and then thought, “Holy cow! After all I’ve been through today with my eyes, why the heck can I not see?!”
I guess these are just two more links in the longstanding chain of evidence which proves that I will never, ever, ever be cool, as least not as the world defines it.
LOL – oh I have the worlds worst superiority complex – that is EXACTLY the kind of thing that would make me smug! 🙂
Me TOO!!!! And Ive also done the whole, run around the house looking for my glasses not realizing they are on the top of my head. More than once. More than once a month even.
My human pet compensates by putting the glasses on top of her hair like she’s seen countless people do on Project Runway. Sure, she can’t see, but being cool is more important apparently. (Personally, it’s entertaining to watch her stumble, fumble, and look like a flopping fish out of water, but don’t tell her I said that!)
Thank you all 🙂 It makes me feel better that I’m not the only one.
Oh, I love how you can make me laugh right out loud. “Why the heck can I not SEE?” just slayed me.
I am so grateful to my parents for letting me get my contacts when I was still a shy, awkward teenager, allowing me to get the bulk of my humiliation over with in a five year period. 😉
But the thing is… fifteen years later, I have STILL DONE THE GLASSES ON AFTER CONTACTS THING!! So, yeah. You are so definitely not alone. Hee.
