How do you manage?

Mike has a bad habit of trying to adjust his glasses to fit tighter on his face. Naturally, he doesn't really know what he's doing so yesterday he was sitting in class fiddling with them when they snapped in half. It was really only a matter of time. Luckily we got the warrenty (good thing...this was his third pair since last May) so he left class early to run by the mall to see if they had another set of frames they could pop the lenses into. He had to work last night and since he delivers pizza, he really needed his glasses to see, plus they are doing firearms training in the academy and he needs to be able to see to shoot! Thankfully they had ONE pair left in stock and $24 later he had a brand new pair of glasses!

He gets home, we chat for a minute and I run out to check the mail. I walk back in and he had set his glasses on the table while he changed his shirt for work when aparently Hayden knocked them of the table and Mike stepped on them...the arm snapped in half! So off he goes to ANOTHER mall because they, thankfully, also have one pair left...which cost ANOTHER $24. Guess I worked for free last night, eh?

So if you're keeping track...Mike broke his glasses twice in one day and in just eight short months he's been through five pairs of glasses.

Do they make rubber glasses? Perhaps pink to match his towel?

I suddenly feel a bit better about breaking my glasses yesterday. At least they lasted me 3 years!
