Nice work on this flash fiction piece, Yvette. I enjoyed the humor of this one and felt the exasperation of the couple. Good luck in the contest.
Take care,
Russell

Comment from Dean Kuch
I've actually done this myself before, Yvette.
I switched glasses with my son somehow and he has a stigma and prescription glasses where my glasses are just used for reading purposes only.
I thought I'd done gone completely blind, heh-heh.
Poor Marianne.
Well, at least all's well that ends well.
Funny story!

Very amusing story Yvette. I can just imagine these older folks enjoying this moment together. Their teas laughter are infectious. Excellent imagery throughout.
Terrific contest entry.

Comment from robyn corum
Yvette,
Oh, I like this one. Not only that things weren't as bad as she thought (for once, as we grow older!) But that her hubby is the one who came to her rescue. I love that. *smile* Great story. Good luck!

This was one that I just 'came up with' at the last minute... kinda got the inspiration from two students at school (different classes/grade levels) that ended up with the same glasses...LOL!! :) ;) Been so busy that there's not a lot of 'extra writing' time!! ;) ;) Take care! ;) Yvette
Comment from Tina Crute
This is beautiful and tells more than your words. "This time" is my favorite little phrase, even though it is sad. It makes me think that this she knows her eyesight is going and there will be a day that switching glasses will not help. Excellent writing, and by that I mean it is important and meaningful and memorable:)

So glad you caught that, Tina -- you know, whenever I do one of these....I type out the story best I can without counting and then go back and 'edit down' to the minimum....I had hoped that little phrase kept in there the fact that her eyesight was fading (had to eliminate that descriptive sentence) and I think you may be the first to have caught it, but the fact that you did really made me smile! ;) :) Thanx for the review, Beautiful Lady T -- take care out there! ;) ;) Yvette

Aww thanks Yvette!
You're the sweetest!
I love reading your stuff:)

Comment from Randa Dayle
Isn't that terrible when you wear your spouses' glasses, or you can't find them when they are on top of your head... I love it! Great job, and congratulations on all-time best!

Oh, the head thing my husband does all the time!! ;) :) I got this crazy idea when two of my students showed up with new glasses (different classes/grade levels) with the same glasses! :) ;) Probably won't happen to David and me cuz mine are prescription and his are 'readers' from the store...can't see me ever mistaking those frames for mine....ugh! LOL! ;) But who knows with the craziness of life right now?!! :) Take care, Lady Randa -- Yvette :)

I enjoyed every single aspect of the item. The Author has paid particular attention to the language used and the words were chosen. Every single grammar issue has been resolved and there are no spelling mistakes. I would highly recommend this item to a friend.

Thank you so very much, Tpa, for these lovely stars and, especially for your wonderful comments -- both are so much appreciated!! :) :) You know, I got the crazy idea when two of my students showed up with new glasses (different classes/grade levels) with the same glasses! :) ;) Probably won't happen to my husband and I cuz mine are prescription and his are 'readers' from the store...can't see me ever mistaking those frames for mine LOL! ;) But who knows?!! :) Didn't have my usual time last week for 'thinking up stuff' since I'm barely keeping all the balls in the air, but this one worked out!! ;) :) Take care out there and thank you!! :) ;) Yvette
Comment from aryr
This was short but totally amazing Yvette, as required for the contest-good luck. I was so pleased to see that it was both recognized and received the All Time Best. Your words presented the truth of growing old and the truth that does happen frequently. Wonderful picture choice.

Comment from giraffmang
Hi there,
very nice little piece here for the competition. Spot on word count. Good turnaround with the reveal near the end.
had deteriorated just since yesterday. - perhaps reaarange to since just yesterday.
Bob busted-out laughing. - maybe burst out rather than busted-out here.

Not sure what happened with the reviewing on this. The rating should have been five. I've amended. It happened on nearly all my reviews from 5th. very annoying.
