Contact Lenses

“Yeah, we should go to grandma’s house next week,” said a woman to her son.
“That would be great!” The boy replied.
“By the way, how’s school today?”
“Oh, it wasn’t too bad. I got the highest score in a math test today. It’s 69!” The boy said with giggles.
“What? Hahaha! That’s okay, I guess…” said the woman.

That was a conversation I overheard on my way to lunch this noon. Well, I thought that was funny because both the mother and the son laughed over the score. I bet there are many parents out there, who would be pissed off if they knew their kids scored 69 in math. However, what’s more important to children? I think self-confidence is very critical. After all, if they have tried their best, why not let them enjoy a wonderful childhood?

I think I cursed more than one hundred times and used more expletives I have ever said in my entire life. Damn the contact lenses! I never thought it would be that difficult to put on a pair of them. I did my right eye quite easily but the left eye was the devil! It basically took me more than two hours to get it off!! Shit shit shit!!! For a typical Aries, I just can’t stand not being able to accomplish simple tasks rapidly!
