Ah, Ok. I'm sure she didn't then. It was Mary Anne who faked bad eyesight to get glasses. I think it was in her portrait book.

^ I remember that. I didn't know anyone ever really did that (other than my cousin wanting glasses but that only lasted for a day ;D) but now I know it does happen. ;D Greer, have you tried reading glasses with your contacts? That's the only thing my mom finds works for her as she can't read with her contacts anymore and can barely see with her glasses. ;D

^yeah, but it's just kind of a pain, and i'd rather just not wear contacts when i'm reading books.

^ I just came on to say I just realized I did to you the thing I hate more than anything - unsolicited advice. Sorry. ;D It's a bad habit I'm trying to get over. ;D I can imagine that wearing glasses or contacts of any kind is a huge pain and consider myself blessed that I do have good eyes. I think that's why I felt for Karen even more in this one (and because my mom is always saying how she can totally relate to Karen's feelings in it. I think this would be her favorite LS book if she read them. ;D)

It's not surprising that Karen would need glasses--it tends to run in families. I take it from the LS illustrations that Lisa wears glasses and Watson is pictured with glasses in a lot of books.
It's funny how a lot of us want glasses when we're younger. ;D I wouldn't say I ever faked failing an eye exam, but I definitely exaggerated my vision problems. Now that I actually need glasses, I don't want them.

^ me too. I want 20/20 vision again. I would love to just wake up in the morning and not have to deal with contacts or glasses. Or just fall asleep and not have to worry about my contacts sticking to my eyes and ripping.

^ Me too, although I'm thinking about getting rid of my contacts and just sticking with my glasses since I really only need them when I'm driving. They're such a hassle to clean and take care of.

I like my glasses, but I hate needing to grab them if I'm, say, going to the bathroom in the middle of the night, and I miss being able to fall asleep reading in bed. So I wouldn't mind if my eyesight was bad, I just don't want it to be this terrible! ;D

I read this book when I was seven--it was my first BSC book ever! If not for this, I wouldn't have gotten my addiction...

I am not sure if my eyes are that bad yet that they need lasik, but my mom's were and the lasik helped her out tremendously.

^ Not sure what the lasik is but this makes me think of the episode of King of Queens when Carrie gets surgery on her eyes and it doesn't work. ;D Anyone else see that?

^I haven't seen that, but I know lasik is supposed to be very expensive. Does insurance cover it? I would think not because they would tend to see it as a cosmetic procedure.
