spectacles

Otger was two when he got the pair on the top. And now he is eleven, bottom pair new today. Not bad. The fifth pair of glasses in his lifetime. Funny thing, I am wearing my fifth pair too! But that's not fair, I started later and I wore contacts for more than ten years. I wore my first pair for ever and ever. I got it in grade four, and it must have lasted until grade eleven. I looked like old fashioned shit. After each gym class we used to play soccer with my glasses, but they were really sturdy. Then one day, one half went one direction, the other another. The class cheered. And I finally got my new pair of glasses. Of course I never told my parents this story.

Most people start their spectacles-career with really big glasses. I was 14 and had really long hair and a huge pair of glasses then.
I looked like a haystack with a bike in it...
