first thing that came to mind: "Was there suppose to be something on
that line?"  A slightly amusing story on why I never got glasses
before, even though I couldn't see properly since I was a little kid
and failed every eyesight test at school, was because I never said
anything to my mom. <snip>

I can identify with you. When I went to the DMV and was asked what was
in the third box, I said "Which third box?" I was told to close my
other eye and then I could see the third box but not the first one.
The woman giving the test wrote down a huge "A" on the license to
indicate astigmatism. On top of that, I'm farsighted rather than
nearsighted, so $7.00 reading glasses from Osco help me watch TV (they
work better for my bifocals), but I can't read with them. I'll forget
I have them on and try to read--Oops! Wrong glasses. I've worn glasses
since I was two and a half. I was clinging to the banister going
downstairs and my mother took me to the doctor thinking something was
wrong with my legs!
