Or, what happens when your hardheaded four-year-old jumps “one last time” after you’ve said “stop JUMPING on me IT HURTS” and sweeps your face with his leg.

Or, what happens when you have an active four-year-old that doesn’t get to go out and play like he needs to.

Yes, it was “a accident, I didn’t mean to bweak your gwasses Mommy”. I didn’t tell him the screw stripped, and he doesn’t need to know that it’s a repair so simple a child could do it. (If you were so inclined to let a child get their hands on your only pair of glasses.) Strip the paper off the wire, loop the wire through the hole, snip with scissors and bend any leftovers AWAY from your face.

I’ve given up on owning a pair of awesome plastic frames after this episode. I can repair most issues with metal frames. Plastic breaks and that’s IT game OVER.

Now, who wants to be my babysitter? Anyone? Bueller? Bueller?
