Aww, kids are cute. One of my coworkers has a nine-year old grandson who was complaining that things looked "fuzzy" and he couldn't see right. So they took him to an optometrist and he was having trouble reading the chart and everything so they went out to the display cases to pick out some frames and he went right up to the Harry Potter frames and put them on. "It's a miracle, I can see." Yeah, cause those display frames with the clear plastic lenses are really good at fixing vision.

The optometrist managed to keep a straight face (I would have had difficulties). Apparently they get about one fake a week with kids wanting to get the Harry Potter glasses. Glasses are cool to have now. Well sheesh, I went to elementary school 15 years too early.

No shit...

Man - I hear that!

I was just thinking about trading in my cat-eye frames for Harry Potter look-a-likes.

I would have given anything for glasses to be cool at that age.

So how much trouble did that punk get in for wasting his parent's money and time and wasting valuable eye doc time?

For crying out loud, BLOCKBUSTER sold Harry Potter glasses

Oh the parents gave him a stern talking to about lying etc. I don't know what the punishment was.
