Bad Genes and a Thank You to Josh Morgan

Since other things have been going on, I failed to mention a milestone (of sorts) that happened in Big J's life. About 2 weeks ago, he got glasses. I don't know why all the bad genes get passed down, but he is even a grade earlier in getting his eyewear than I was.

Big J has had no problem with having to wear glasses. I think he secretly thinks it's really cool. I, however, remember being a little embarassed about having to wear glasses (circa 1981 glasses were SO cool). But thanks to Josh Morgan, a cute little blond boy who I had a crush on since 1st grade, I wore them with pride.

The first day I came to school with them, I didn't put them on right away. Josh sat in front of me and turned around and said, "So you got some glasses?"
I replied timidly, "Yes."
"Let me see them."
"No."
"Come on, let me see them. I promise I won't laugh."
So I pulled them out and put them on. He looked at me a few seconds.
"Cool," he said and then turned around.

After that, I wore my groovy glasses with no problem. So thank you, Josh Morgan, for not being a jerk and helping me feel confident enough to wear those huge, round, thick glasses with my initials in the corner of the lense.

Those were some groovy glasses you had. Not quite as cool as my purple Sally Jesse Raphael type glasses- but groovy nonetheless. :)

Big J looks goo!

haahaha! I think I wrote a similar post when Bria got her glasses 2 years ago. About how I was so afraid to go to school with my new glasses (with my name engraved in the corner of one lens, and a treble clef in the other. Ha!) and I was late because I didn't want to go. One boy immediately started making fun of me, and then another boy, Kimo Skyles, said "I think she looks cute in them." Yes I crushed on him for a long time after that. :)

Jayden looks great! He really does look very cool!
