Better to Laugh

I am still getting used to wearing glasses.  Some things are just very aggravating; now I know why my husband has gotten frustrated with glasses all these years.  They fog up, smudge, slide down your nose, and mystery dirt gets on them.  Oh, and be careful what you wipe them with so that you don’t scratch them or smudge them worse than they already are. 

Today, I went out with some students to get music stands out of my SUV.  I ran through the snow flurries with my hand above my eyes so that I wouldn’t end up with wet glasses.  One of the students asked if I was cold.  “No, I am trying to keep from getting spots on my glasses,” I said with exasperation.  He laughed and said, “I don’t even think about it.”  Then I realized that three out of the five students wore glasses, and they weren’t paying any attention to the snow.  Boy, did I look silly!  Still, I just can’t seem to let the spots go, yet.
