Introducing Simon

Dear management team, I have been a very good customer for 3 years and have bought 20 pairs of glasses. I am very disappointed at the way I have been treated in my last interactions around a pair of Karl Lagerfeld glasses that has a broken arm mechanism. I was told many different things by many different customer service representatives but no one is helping me. I went to two eyeglass stores after I was told by your representative there was a way to fix the arm. Both stores said it is broken and not fixable. It is within the warranty period. I was then told by your representative Kalem that I could get any replacement frame of my choice for the full price of the pre-discounted Karl Lagerfeld frame.....then this was changed to that I could only get the exact same frame which you no longer carry. I was then told by your representative that I could get 32 or 34 dollars credit which is not what I paid. This is not acceptable. I would like the New Round Oval Converse Optical Frame Z001 UF Matte Black. You say on your website that you match other people's price. Please either match the $19.9offered by your comp5 price below or give me the 50% discount you always have previously provided during sales. I think you should provide a good customer, such as myself, with good service.Best, Eric

Dad just entered a picture  of me and a story about us in National  Geographic's 2014 Photo Contest.  I hope he has good luck and wins!!

I know something is happening even though I can’t hear it.  This is akin to the age old question, “If a tree falls in the forest… doesn’t it make a sound?”  Well, for me, I have a sense that Simon is causing mischief sometimes when I’m in the bedroom resting and he’s roaming the kitchen.  Most probably he is looking for anything to eat but he’s just happy if he finds an empty box or wrapping paper to shred.  There is silence but I know there is going to be a mess.

  Last Saturday, Morris and I were in the bedroom having a conversation.  Most often, we call Simon in to join us but we figured he was in his crate relaxing.  Then suddenly, I was overcome by a “sense.”    I hadn’t seen Simon in a while and it was quiet in the rest of the apartment.  That meant that he was entertaining himself.

  I stepped out into the kitchen and at first didn’t see anything out of place.  Then, I walked further into the kitchen and saw a six-pack of Ensure on the floor.  It’s the nutritional supplement you buy for elderly people.  I asked Morris, “Did you buy Ensure for your mother?”  With a sense of alarm he replied, “Yes, why are you asking?”  I continued, “Did you leave it on the table in the kitchen?”  Morris seemed to be in somewhat of a haze when he responded, “Yes.” “Well,” I said, “Simon ate them.  Not all of them.  Three out of the six.”  Morris grumbled, “I bought them for my mother.”

Aunt Betty’s sister, Judy was having a dinner the night before her son’s bar mitzvah.  She had her two eldest children, 1 boy and 1 girl, that were both married.  Ethan and I were there, as well as, a couple of aunt Betty’s kids. 

  The dinner was underway and the kids started talking “smack.”  That’s the kind of gossip that relatives talk about before a religious holiday or family event.  Judy’s son Mark and his kids were talking about their cousin Joan.  They pegged her as a lesbian because she likes the music of Melissa Ethridge, Jewel, and Jann Arden.  Also, because she had never had a boyfriend, liked outdoors activities, wore work-shirts, didn’t wear makeup, etc.  The list seemed to go on and on and they believed it was decisive proof of her sexuality. 

  Mark’s sister, Barbara, started to get agitated and shifted in here seat.  She the kind of person that uses these family events as a platform to make a political statement.

  Barbara said, “You have no proof that Joan is a lesbian.  It’s ridiculous to say that she likes woman just because of the music she listens to or her hobbies.  I’m a lesbian.” 

  The crowd was quiet for a minute or two but no one believed her.  Barbara was there with her husband of 20 some odd years and her two kids that were in their teens. 

  She was relentless and continue, “I’m a lesbian and am going out with Joan.”   For a few minutes there was an audible silence and then Barbara explained, “We are in love.  She is such a warm person. I have never felt so close to anyone.  Our love making is beautiful.”  It wasn’t clear how much of this her husband and children had heard before; everyone seemed fairly composed.  Judy didn’t even say anything.

  The next day while in temple, Barbara reviewed the scenario with Ethan.  Again, she told him, “I’m a lesbian and am going out with Joan.”  Ethan affect was flat and casually responded, “That’s nice.”  He’s not the type of person to judge anyone, is accustomed to interacting with all types of people, has other gay relatives, and many gay friends.

“What’s your IQ?”  That was one of the last questions Ethan was asked at his interview.  He was surprised, but, didn’t want to seem annoyed. 

  Immediately, there were three thoughts that came to his mind.  One, why am I being asked about my IQ?  What relevance does it have to do success in this position? Two, do I need to come up with an answer quickly to show that I can think on my feet?  Three, I want to say something that makes me look confident, intelligent, and perhaps funny. 

  Ethan knew that an IQ in the range of 40-50 IQ meant you were retarded and one in the range of 160- 180 meant you were a genius. Giving a number in either of these two ranges would have been pedestrian.  So instead, he opted for the absurd and said, “275.” 

  The interviewer’s face turned red and let out a laugh.  He then said, “I don’t think you know your IQ.  180 means you are in Mensa.” 

  When Ethan came home he asked Morris how he would have answered the question.  Morris began with, “I would have asked him why he was asking the question.  It really doesn’t have any relevance to the job.  I also would have told him that I couldn’t answer that question because I administer the test and that would bias my answers to the questions.” 

  Ethan wasn’t looking for the answer that Morris the psychologist would give but rather from an “ordinary person.”  That night Morris and Ethan went out with two of Morris’ friends that were also psychologist and also dating each other.  Both mumbled some terms used in psychology but, neither of them could provide a solid answer. 

Ethan was sitting at the computer and sending out resumes.  His face was pointed straight at the screen and he seemed to have a serious look on his face.  I couldn’t see any trace of a smile and his eyes pointed straight ahead.  It was as if he was a robot and nothing could disturb him. 

  I felt my stomach roll and it made the sound of a small wave crashing up against a sandy white beach.   Then it happened.  I farted.  Not a single fart but, a string of farts.  Not your smooth silent type but an audible fart that sounded like a kid playing on a drum.  There was no smell-- at least not as far as I could tell --and I thought it went undetected. 

  Then robot Ethan slightly cocked his head and turned to where I was lying on the floor.  It seems he heard the fart and was surprised. His surprise didn’t warrant him to get up and stop working, make a comment, or walk in my direction.  He just paused. 

  Then, without any kind of warning it happened again.  Gas escaped my innards and I heard the beat, beat, beat of a little drum. 

  Ethan looked again and this time I could see a puzzled look on his face.  It was if he had never heard me fart before.  I know this isn’t the case. 

  I remained nonplused and figured that this episode was over.  Ethan look became a stare and I sensed that with a sense of distain he was waiting for it to happen again.

  I thought, “is this something to get embarrassed about or is it just natural.”  Then the third round occurred.  Honestly, it was late in the afternoon, I was tired, and didn’t see the need to move or get up.
