    I couldn’t manage to convince my parents that I had piss poor vision until I was 8 years old. When I finally managed to get them to take me to the eye doctor and get prescription glasses, my mom apologized to me repeatedly for like 2 weeks.

      You: “Mom! Everything looks bad!”
      Mom: “I know sweetheart, but even though everything seems hopeless we have to focus on the positive things…”

      I managed to make it to 13, I could not see past my arm length without everything becoming mad blurry. No wonder I only read books as a kid!
