No! I Don’t Need Reading Glasses! (2013) - Plot & Excerpts
I Don’t Need Reading Glasses MAY 2 May At first I thought the headline read: ‘IT DOESN’T ADD UP! 21 in every 10 children leaves school innumerate!’ but then I realised that even the Rant couldn’t go that far. Adjusting my glasses I saw it said that one child in every 10 was clueless about arithmetic. However, my blood pressure had already shot up, just as it was supposed to, which gave me the energy to ring Sylvie to find out how the doctor’s appointment with Archie had gone. ‘Oh, Marie,’ she said, sounding much more affectionate than when I last spoke to her. ‘I was just about to ring you. We went to the doctor’s yesterday, and I feel awful about this, but you were quite right of course. I’m afraid he’s got some kind of dementia, and the doctor’s sending him to have an assessment at the clinic, but it’s all changed suddenly very rapidly. It’s so awful because he sort of understands what’s going on and sort of doesn’t. I’m trying to spend as much time there as possible and Mrs Evans says she’ll stay over on the nights I can’t be there, but it’s all horrible.
