The one day I wear my glasses

So I was waiting for the bus home today talking to my mom on my cell. A bum--vagrant, if you will--walked up, beer in hand, and asked me for money. Normally I wouldn't be that perturbed, but I was on the phone and he was rudely persistent. Anyway so I looked at him and said "Please go away." That set him off into a string of slurs, one of them being "four-eyes." I had to laugh out loud.

Really, who says "four-eyes" anymore?

It's so stupid that I can EVEN comment on this, but my students called one kid FOUR EYES and the kid CLEARLY DID NOT UNDERSTAND THE INSULT and called him SIX EYES in return and then it got ridiculous and I kind of ignored it until it got to TWELVE EYES. Because really? Twelve eyes? C'mon, now.

Ha! Twelve eyes! What a dork!

London vagrants are mean. Funny, but mean.

And I just laughed out loud at Hillary's comment. That's hilarious.

I'm going to the store right now for some glasses to see if I can entice the "four eyes" insult.

That vagrant has obviously been terrorizing the local grade school. You should have used the rubber and glue defense on him.

Or the "I know you are but what am I" defense.

i have said... twice "sorry" because i didn't have any money on my person at the time, at which time the person asking for the dollar said "no you're not" (very angry)
at which time i said "okay then... go fuck yourself instead."

You've officially been wearing your glasses for twenty days. What else is new? Tell me about it.
