I got them when I was seven, but my eyes got so bad so quickly that I could never see the board by Christmas break.

There were three of us kids with glasses, plus both my parents, and I have no idea how my parents managed to pay for them all.

I’m second oldest of nine, and all the blue-eyed kids needed glasses, none of the brown-eyes/green-eyed kids did.... So ‘splain me that one.

Anyway, all of us went through the same second and third grade teachers at ole St Thomas Moore in San Antonio - soon as they saw another Cook kidlet coming through the door, we got either a front-row seat, or a back row seat. Then got glasses in a few weeks after that and we all got moved to the back row.
