Funny moments?

How many others have had an experience caused by macular degeneration which has, in retrospect, been a funny story to tell? Perhaps one where you hope no one else saw, or noticed. Something like my “I love Lucy” story, https://maculardegeneration.net/living/kitchen-mishaps#comment-412315 , or the time my friend wore white concealer as lipstick and carried it off beautifully. Something to make us smile or even laugh out loud.

  1. I was preparing a pie for a church dinner. I laid my baggie with chopped pecans on the kitchen island and left the kitchen for a few moments. In the mean time my husband paid a similar baggie with bird seed on the bar. Yep, I put the birdseed on top of my pie. I didn’t take the pie to church but we scraped the seed off the top and ate the pie. With worsening vision, I have learned to look more closely to make sure I am using the right ingredient in a recipe. I have also learned to laugh at my mistakes . Sharon Moore Advocate

    1. Love it, ! I’m sure there must be many more stories to come. Cora Lyn
