Which would you choose? Something stylish or practical?
Dad, how old were you when you started to wear glasses?
What did you say?
When you started wearing glasses how old were you?
I don’t know. Maybe thirteen or fourteen.
I might need glasses.
You might need what?
Dad. Stop reading! I might need glasses.
Oh.
I don’t want glasses. They aren’t stylish.
Some glasses are very fashionable. You’ll look great.
No, I won’t. Besides, style isn’t just how you look. Style is how you feel and act. If I look good, I’ll feel good. Glasses aren’t my style.
What do you mean?
Glasses are heavy. They’ll hurt my ears and slide down my nose. When I wear a mask, they’ll get cloudy. When I play sports, they’ll fall off and get broken. I’ll feel foolish.
But the most important thing is to see clearly, right? If you can’t see clearly, it will cause lots of problems. It’ll be hard to do well in school. Be practical.
But dad!
Mika, it’s not the end of the world!
That’s what you think??
