In happier news, I picked up my daughter's first pair of glasses from the optician today, and she's just wandering around the house reading book titles from across the room in amazement.
And what's the fun in becoming an immortal demon if you're not regular, am I right?

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
We have been told to have our cameras on for the next meeting which will also cover this development, so I'd better practice schooling my face

Aw. So many of my friends (and my mom) had a "trees have individual leaves you can SEE" moment after getting their first glasses. Probably not this time of year, I guess

I got my first pair (age 10) around Christmastime, and individual lights on trees was a MASSIVE revelation.

If you need an alibi, we were all there when your wifi went down and would only support audio.

Friends don't let friends read "Atlas Shrugged"
aw, I remember any time I got a new prescription for my glasses how amazingly sharp the focus it was ... I'd go from squinting to try to see something to wow! look at the leaves! and so on
There are videos around of people who are color blind wearing glasses that (somehow) allow them to see color. They're always amazed at what the colors they've been hearing about actually look like.

This was how I discovered I needed glasses at age 10 - screwing around with my stepbrother's glasses and suddenly I could see the individual leaves on the shrubs across the backyard!

Punishingly Intricate
Ha! I totally did the leaves on trees thing when I got my first glasses at age 12.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs
On the way back from picking up my first glasses (~3rd grade maybe), I remember saying something like, "Stop signs have 'stop' on them?"
