Myopia

A fellow YFA intern Yuyuan wears contacts everyday, but she made an exception one day and wore glasses instead. Seeing this, a student approached her.

Student: Why are you wearing glasses today?
Yuyuan: Because I’m shortsighted.
Student: But you don’t usually wear glasses! You mean you’re shortsighted today?
Yuyuan: O_o No, I’m shortsighted everyday…

On a side note, another fellow intern Cherlene also had a “glasses” encounter. A student asked her, “Why you wear specs? Your eyes spoil is it?”
