One of Lil D’s friends was very recently prescribed spectacles.

I shared with her that I was exactly the same age when I got my glasses. Lil D, who is fascinated with specs, was grumbling that she couldn’t wear glasses. Her friend assured her that it was highly irritating and not in the least bit enjoyable.

I chimed in then.

“But it makes such a difference, doesn’t it? I still remember how remarkably clear everything looked to me the day I got my glasses!”

“Yes aunty,” said the friend quite sagely. “It’s as if everything is in HD*!”

*HD – High Definition, like some of the TV channels these days! 😀
