Adopting The Sight Attitude

(I am the youngest of six kids, and my mother has had glaucoma for 30 years. Her eyesight is not good at all. We are chatting on the phone, and she tells me that she has just renewed her driver’s license, but she prefaces it with this:)

Mom: “I have good news! Well, my kids don’t think it’s such good news, but you might.”

Me: “Gee thanks, mom. Is there something else you want to tell me?”
