The woman looking at the package next to us at Costco yesterday had her glasses on but they were dangling down around her chin as she was trying to read the fine print on the ingredients list. She looked vaguely like someone I knew, and although she wasn’t that someone, that probably helped me to respond as if she were, and she was frowning. Costco on a Saturday is a crowded hassle, so that was certainly understandable.
I laughed, “I thought I was the only one who did that.” I tend to hang my glasses by one ear dangling downwards when I want to see way up close myself.
I startled her out of her reverie, and she chuckled that she gets strangers telling her, Hey, lady, did you know your glasses were about to fall off your face? But she’d never had anyone else say they do the same thing.
About ten minutes later, I bumped into her again and went, “There you go again.” She burst out laughing.
I never did see her frown again after any of that.
