The greatest reading glasses story ever told

Or at least the best that has happened to me that I hope you'll laugh at

A few months ago, while in the middle of an adventure I organized to celebrate turning 51, I broke my reading glasses.

I bought my first pair nine years ago. I barely needed them then. I can’t function without them now, so I stopped at the drugstore to buy another pair. I could not see well because I did not have my readers. I grabbed a pair that looked normal, took them to the counter, bought them, and thought little of it other than to be grateful I'd be able to read, type, see my phone, etc.

Some time later, like, weeks later, I noticed light coming from the side of my head.

What the …?

I had bought readers with lights on them, only I didn’t know it because when I bought them I did not have readers in order to see such details. I only discovered the light when I somehow accidentally turned it on.

I can’t see my readers without my readers.
