GAHH!

I am the first to admit that someone should award me an honorary PhD in procrastination, but for the first time in my life my storytelling has been thwarted by my good behaviour.

I am unable to recall a single incident when I have shagged or snogged anyone wearing glasses*.

I've had to put my old sunglasses onto a handpuppet to work out logistics. And, naturally, that required another handpuppet on the other hand to keep the proportions right. Let me just say that I am glad the window in this room opens onto the garden. You would not believe the time it took!

And you thought the ukulele would be the acme of my ridiculousness this week ...**




* Surely I must have, but a taxi to the head is a powerful remover of random snoggage recollection!
** 10 notes! Three chords! Two songs!

I would assume that if the snogging got serious, the glasses would come off - due to worries about breaking them. Guys I have been with who wore glasses took them off - sight or sun types. Of course, a person with very poor eyesight taking off their glasses may be a cause for some ridiculous prose - contacting wrong parts etc.

Glasses coming off does depend on there being somewhere safe to put them down 8-> If one is overcome with passion in some random location (a back alley say) leaving them on may be the best option as there is less chance of stepping on them. (Having not read any of this fic I have no idea if the settings for said snogging but as a long time glasses wearer I offer some experience and yes, they can get bent in the heat of the moment and they often get in the way if you want to kiss someone's neck but I have never had them catch in my hair)

I really should have put the puppets down and just asked here. Am tagging this for future reference! Thank you!

You are making me think of boys I snogged while at school who would somehow end up on one's nose or cheek or eye orbit. At the time I thought they were just incompetent, but they could have been glasses wearers to vain to wear them out to a party!
