Do you see a pattern here?

One pair I distinctly remember flushing. Another went out the window of our two story apartment, into the thorny bushes. Another I gave to the dog to chew. Yet another "somehow" "accidentally" got stomped/sat/stepped on (4-5 pair like that, actually). Even more got tossed out the moving car, "losted" lots of times, and run over by the car.

Now that I pay for them myself...and have gotten used to the buggers...they tend to stick around much longer than those did.

I still don't like things on my face though.

I didn't get my first pair of glasses until 5th grade because my parents thought I only wanted them to "look cool". wtf? They finally got tired of replacing them every few months (thank you dodgeball) so they let me get contacts in 10th grade...lol
