Old Men and Big Glasses.......

We've always had a thing around our house about old men and big glasses. Have you ever noticed or wondered why old men always wear big glasses? ALWAYS!!! There was a time in the 80's when big glasses were "IN"...or so we thought!!! Ken had them!! In fact we even have pictures of Michael when he was little wearing Ken's old man/big glasses! Now the thing around our house is old ladies and big watches!!! What is it about old ladies and big watches????

They're everywhere you look!! Or so I've been told!! Don't you know that they are "IN" ? I actually know what it is with old ladies and big watches though!!! It is the only way that I can tell time! I wore my other watch for three months with a dead battery and really didn't even miss that I couldn't tell the time!! I couldn't see the numbers anyway. It was stopped on 2:55! I was still in the habit of looking at it even though I couldn't tell the big hand from the little hand!! It was always almost 3:00 to me! Not a problem with this one though!!! I might as well carry a wall clock around on my arm! That being said though, I still wonder what the deal is with old men and big glasses?

My dad has those BIG GLASSES...and we can't get him to change!

JD had the 80's BIG GLASSES when we got married in the 90's. I made him take them off for pictures. And shortly thereafter, he got smaller ones (and so did I for the record) :)
