About a week ago I got jalapeno pepper oil in my eyes. The next day I had to wear my glasses. This is never very appealing to me as I am very near-sighted and, no matter how hard you try, you can't really make the lenses that small with my prescription. Anyway, Abigail and I went to the store and she was riding in the buggy (that is southern talk for grocery basket- not a baby carriage. Don't worry, we don't call it that, it was just a good opportunity to educate non-southerners about the word). We were walking along and I was looking this way and that and Abigail all the sudden asked me, "Why are you doing those crazy things with your eyes?" "Uhh...." I said. I tried to imagine what my eyes looked like from a 45 degree angle below, through the thick part of my lenses. "I'm not doing crazy things, Mommy just has to wear her glasses today." Silence for a second while she was thinking about that. I expected her to ask why I had to wear them. Instead, she said, "You shouldn't wear those." Smiling, I told her that Daddy and I happened to agree with her, but that it was necessary today.
We also took some silly pictures that morning, I thought they kind of went with the story.

I can't believe we're both on here in the morning. Re the japs, I did that once many years ago with red chili peppers and I can't imagine how much more painful it would be with japs. Also wonder what Abigail was thinking about the glasses, but I think they're cute. XXXOOO
I thoroughly enjoyed this post!! Sorry to hear about the jalepeno crisis but glad that you've recovered!
