Sad But True...

Phone conversation:

MOM: Why did you call me earlier?

ME: I'm worried about my eyes. I got up from my computer at work and everything around me was blurry.

MOM: Sounds like you need glasses.

ME: That's what I thought, so I made an appointment to get my eyes checked, but then I realized I have to cancel.

MOM: Why?

ME: I booked an appointment to get my hair done at the same time.

MOM: Your hair is taking precedence over your eyesight?

ME: Pretty much. I'll get farther in this town as a blonde, than I ever will wearing glasses.

MOM: That's awful. Is this because of that "Bergdorf Blondes" book you left here last time you came to visit?

ME: Ummmm, Maybe?

MOM: You waste your money on paperbacks.
