She was self-conscious about her new glasses.  She hates getting attention – any attention, whether good or bad.  So, the glasses are bad.

She was even upset that we took her for an eye check-up, to verify what we suspected – that she wasn’t seeing properly.

But, she looked beautiful and I wanted to get a shot of her on her first day with them.  However, life being life, offered just this moment.

It’s morning.  We’re all headed for school.

All three are about to run.  In a matter of seconds, C will trip, fall, and skin her knee.  So this is the shot that survives for posterity.

Her injury, however, distracted her from her glasses.

Life, being life.
