[May 18, 2007] ARE YOU HIGH ON TRIPPIN?

It still cracks me up how last weekend Markie came to my house wearing those funny glasses. He called them his "Otacon Glasses" from "Metal Gear Solid" (a video game). They had strong frames with round lens. Knowing that my son doesn't need glasses and how lazy his father can be about talking him to the doctor, there was no way that he got glasses between the time I saw him last and now.

Pointing to the glasses, I said, "Where on Earth did you get those?"

"I wear glasses now," Mark said.

Not convinced, I said, "Yeah right. I mean really. Where did you get those? They look like real glasses."

He said, "I got them from a friend."

"You can't wear those. They'll hurt your eyes."

"They don't have a prescription Mom."

I examined them and he was right.

He continued to wear them the whole weekend and when we went out ice skating. He looked like a complete doofus. Here was this good-looking guy who usually turns heads, turning heads because he looked like an utter Moron.

That's my son. He's high on TRIPin.
