Greg seems cool, happy go lucky, like he’d make a good father and supportive husband.
You yourself, life is amazing. You’ve been married for about a year now. Has it really been a year you think to yourself. You married Todd, whom you’ve known since high school. You always knew it would be him, but you guys were on again and off again. He went to Africa to work with Doctors Without Frontiers. Yeah he’s a doctor.
And you’re a lawyer. Yup a real cliché of a family.
You imagine how you and Todd will try to pull your children into each of your chosen professions, it should be a delight.
So getting back to Linda.
Lind’s pretty but she keeps it well-hidden. She’s a criminal lawyer so she dresses all power and attitude with expensive suits, but her glasses make her look like a librarian. And the way they keep falling down, a nerdy librarian at that.
Isn’t that how it always works?
It works for you so you want to share happiness with your friend too?
You got married and now you want that for Linda too.
And several months ago, you got Keepons eyeglass retainers after seeing it on Twitter, loved it, and now you want to get it for Linda too.
Despite your busy schedule, you spend 5 minutes after lunch getting her the basic 5 pack, that way she can select which Keepons she’d like to use. Hey it’s not like they’re expensive, only 22 USD for the five most popular styles and that includes free shipping and tracking number. And you’ve known her since you guys were in grade 3 together, with that awful teacher…Miss Crabbe. Yuck!
Two weeks later they come in the mail and during sushi you ask Linda to hand you her glasses and you twist the Keepons original clears onto them for her and ask her to put them on.
And just like that, her glasses don’t slip and just like that, she’s like another person, full of smiles and full of happy.
What are these she asks?
They’re called Keepons from Hong Kong. Eyeglass retainers to stop slipping glasses.
I’ll drink to that, she says.
