Me and My Glasses

We have been visiting a local nursing home once a week to meet with the residents and to help the boys get a feel for serving others without the expectation of getting anything in return. Anyway, there are a handful a residents that I have really bonded to. One is a women named Marge. She is older (obviously) and suffers from some dementia but she such a funny, sweet lady- I have really come to enjoy being around her. Anyway, a few days ago I decided to help her during one of the activities so I walk up to her and put my hand on her shoulder and said, "Hi Marge, how are you today?" She got a really funny, surprised look on her face and said, "Oh... you have the most beautiful eyes and... my oh my, look at those teeth." I couldn't help chuckle to myself. I thanked her and started to sit down but she grabbed my hand and said, "But those glasses they are just... there are no words! Those glasses are beautiful!"

I laughed out loud. Really? My glasses? And all this time I thought I had picked the wrong ones. I am so glad to have people like Marge and Ross in my life to set me straight when I get off track!
