Erin's visit to the opthamologist

So, I took Erin to the opthamologist this morning...Lauren tagged along as I would drop them off to school afterwards. It's been about 6 mos. since Erin's last appt. -- of course, she's such a different person than she was then. We get there, and instead of sitting on my lap as she usually does, she insisted on sitting in the chair alone. Dr. Tong gives her the typical examination -- following little rubber toys on a light, etc. Then he decides to try an eye test -- for her age, they use pictures instead of letters. The pictures are in black, very plain, kinda like inkblot pictures. "What's this?" he asks her as he shows her a birthday cake (she answers "circle"), duck, horse, truck...then he shows her a picture of an old tabletop phone. I had to tell him that she'd have no idea what that was. Erin hung in there for a bit, but she soon tired of this activity as he covered up one eye at a time to check her vision. Lauren sat quietly through the exam until the point where Dr. Tong asked her "What's this?" and she answered, "Dip. I like carrots with dip." I thought Lauren was going to pee her pants with laughter. And of course Erin, liking the reaction, starts answering every question with random words. It was pretty funny. Outcome? Dr. Tong does think she has weaker vision in her left eye, which would make sense because that is the eye with the astigmatism, however, he wasn't confident enough to change her prescription, and wants to check her again in 6 mos.
