A friend of mine in her fifties read the bit about Sam's reading glasses, peered over her own glasses at me, and started the following conversation:

Lynn: How old is Sam supposed to be?
Duckie: Um... Thirty-eight?
Lynn: Hmph. Just so you know, the onset of presbyopia does not begin until well into your forties. He could perhaps have adult onset myopia, but that, my dear, is near-sightedness, and would not require reading glasses.
Duckie: ... Oh.
Lynn: You're not out of your teens yet. Of course thirty-eight sounds like death's door to you. Vision going, crow's feet...

I considered coming back with, "Maybe Lilith's white light of death partially blinded the poor puppy. You don't know." But I'd already made myself look quite childish enough.

Long story short: shame on La Patita. But I'm glad you liked the glasses anyway! (And Sam didn't misplace them. Because he doesn't lose things. Because he's Mr. Perfect. *g*)

I'm particularly pleased that the Boyz are feeling like themselves to you. That's my favorite kind of feedback, so I'll try to be worthy of it. Chapter three is on its way, just as soon as I can beat it into submission.

Thanks for reading!
