…I must be the biggest genius on the planet! It was past time for my annual vision checkup, so I decided to go in and see how bad things have changed. I knew they weren’t good since I’ve been having trouble seeing the tube! The assistant had me take my glasses off and then put the chart to the largest setting and seemed to be amazed when I couldn’t tell her exactly letter it was much less the direction. The doctor came in and was commenting on it and before he asked too many personal questions, he said, “you must be really smart.” Well that took me by surprise, and I could only tell the truth and say “well, of course!” He want to mention an article written by the National University of Singapore and how their findings stated that near-sightedness is linked to intelligence. Intelligent people are twice as likely to be near-sighted. Well, naturally I fall in that category! I then asked if it was because intelligent people read more and therefore ruined their eyes for seeing far away, but the research showed that that really didn’t have an effect.

So, in conclusion, if you didn’t know me, now you know I am a genius!
