Glasses

As we get closer to the total solar eclipse that will cross the southern parts of Missouri Monday afternoon, you need to make sure the eclipse glasses you have are safe. There are stern warnings about fakes that could leave you and/or your family blind.

The fact that the state of Missouri is warning about this means it's happened before. That alone should scare you. Yes, there is officially something bizarre that people in Missouri will be fined for soon if they're caught wearing them while driving.

If you've been able to see color since birth, it's hard to understand what this Midwest kid just experienced. He was given glasses that enabled him to see color for the first time in his life and the moment overwhelmed him.

If you'd like a pick-me-up for a cold winter's day, I give you this. It's a young boy in Jacksonville, Illinois seeing his daddy for the first time.

Seeing clearly isn't a big deal for most of us, but it's quite a moment for a young child that has never been able to focus. That's exactly what happened when some Midwestern parents shared the reaction their daughter had when she got her first glasses and it's so much cuteness.
