A little known secret to prevent your glasses from falling down your nose, Keepons eyewear retainers


You’re in the middle of teaching your students. It just so happens you’re 34 years old. And you hate your job. You teach English Literature at a private boy’s school to young men who have entitlement issues. They’re parents are rich, they themselves are spoiled rotten and you know they talk about you behind your back. They talk about how your clothes are so cheap, that you buy them from the Gap, which you do, and that you have no style and that you’ve probably never had a girlfriend, I’ve had exactly two girlfriends in my life but they weren’t that special and the stupid students also make fun of the fact that your glasses are always slipping down your face.

You can’t help being self-conscious and the more self-conscious you are, the more you get nervous and then you sweat and then you start sweating and then your glasses slip even more, like every one minute and you know that in front of your students you are pathetic.

But in every bunch there’s one and in your class there’s a kid named Herman Lee who is bright and has a kind-heart. His parents are super-rich but they’re low key and Herman takes after them. Thoughtful, soft-spoken, actually works hard in school.

So one day Herman comes up to you and says Hey Mr Anderson I wanted to show you these cool things called Keepons. They’re eyeglass retainers. I couldn’t help noticing that your glasses slip down your nose occasionally and I used to have the same problem. But then my dad ordered these Keepons for me. They only cost 6 dollars and that includes free shipping too. Maybe you should give it a try.

He wrote the website address for me and then left to the room to go to his next class.

That was a month ago and that night you ordered Keepons, the same ones he had and when they arrived 8 days later, you were so happy. You twisted them onto your glasses and when you put your glasses on, they didn’t move. They didn’t slip. Nothing. you wanted to shout it from the rooftops.

The next day in class you were extra into the lessons. It was like there was a new teacher. After class you thanked Herman for recommending Keepons to you and though you didn’t admit it to anyone, you gave me extra good grades for the rest of the year.
