Wrinkles

Several years ago we took Mom on a trip to Florida and while there noticed mom needed a new pair of eyeglasses as it was apparent her old ones were not the correct prescription.    So I took her to Lens Crafters to have a new pair made.  When the hour was up, Mom tried on her new glasses and kept staring in the mirror at herself.  I asked her what was wrong and she replied, "Look at my wrinkles.  I look awful!  When did I get all these wrinkles?"  So she promptly took off her glasses and said she was not going to wear them anymore because she did not want other people to see her wrinkles! 

Now years later, she still takes her glasses off whenever she meets somebody.
