Glasses

Last year Jeremy had an eye exam and it was determined he needed glasses. He took them to school and dutifully brought them home on the last day of school.
I noticed them on his dresser last week and asked him to take them to school. He told me, "I don't really need them mom. I think that doctor (the optometrist) was just really confused because she looked at my eyes in a dark room."
Today I received an email from Jeremy's teacher asking if I would send his glasses to school. She had asked Jeremy if we had ever had his eyes checked and he confessed to having glasses but told his teacher doesn't want to wear them because they make him look ugly.
He looks so cute in his glasses. I find it hard to believe he thinks he looks ugly. I remember crying when I was his age because I passed my vision exam and did not need glasses.
I love my cute boy and his little boy logic...poor confused doctor in that dark exam room!

New Favorite Quote

"Do Not Judge, You Don't Know What Storm I Have Asked Her to Walk Through" God

Surely not said by God as I haven't quite seen that direct quote anywhere in the scriptures. Although the same message is throughout the scriptures in many different words and stories. Similar messages have been delivered more recently but with different words by his servants: Specifically by Thomas S. Monson in this talk: http://www.lds.org/broadcasts/article/general-relief-society-meeting/2010/09/charity-never-faileth?lang=eng&query=clean+window

and... President Uchtdorf in this message:

Mercy and Charity. Words I am working to become more diligent in applying to both myself and those around me.
