Taken Seriously

After I had lasik surgery and finally could stop wearing contacts and glasses, Mama Lai indicated to me that out of all my Facebook profile pictures, she liked the one of me wearing glasses the most:
"I just don't think anyone can take you seriously without glasses on.  With glasses, you look like you think about things.  Someone who has important thoughts.  Maybe people would mistake you for being a professor."
I joked that now that I have near perfect vision, I'll never be taken seriously again.  Mama Lai wouldn't have it:
"I found your old frames and I'm going to send them to you and you're going to find someone to put in fake lenses.  You can't go through life always being silly."
