Awwwwww. Now, this is the kind of story I want to see over and over again!
6-year-old Olivia was really, really upset that she had to get glasses, so her uncle decided to try to prove to her that a lot of us out there wear them and that glasses are kind of awesome!
My 6yo niece Olivia had to get glasses today. She’s nearsighted like her Uncle Stephen, so she will wear them all the time.
As you can see, she wasn’t thrilled.
Can fellow glasses wearers show her some love? I will read her all the responses ❤️👓❤️ pic.twitter.com/7PDqpipcVe

Uncle Stephen asked for the love…
And, boy, did the love ever come rolling in! Let’s take a look at some of the great responses.
1. Some words of encouragement.
Keep your chin up, kid!

2. Stick with the pink!
That is a winning color if I’ve ever seen one!
Olivia! Fellow pink glasses wearer!! I’ve been wearing glasses since age 8 and I’ve had FOUR eye surgeries! I have lots of tattoos and piercings but you know what strangers stop me most on the street for? My pink glasses! They love them! And i love yours! pic.twitter.com/HDEBjpPc0l

3. Good advice.
The best! The bestest! YAS!
Olivia- here’s my 2 yr old daughter Elvi wearing my huuuuuge glasses! I’ve had glasses since 5 but it’s not stopped me doing anything. Glasses are an amazing piece of jewellery that only a few are lucky to have- pick glasses you love, the crazier they are the better & own it pic.twitter.com/CZPQHETHXt

4. It’s okay to be different.
In fact, you’ll enjoy being different so much more when you grow up.
Hi Olivia,
I don't wear glasses but you can see I look a little different. I promise you it's okay to be different.
Your glasses help you, just like my chair helps me! And you know what? I happen to think those glasses make you look pretty cool. pic.twitter.com/Vt8q4vDfAa

6. Even Alfie wears them.
See! You’re not alone. Not by a long shot!
Alfie says glasses make you look cool & smart! He wishes he could wear these glasses all the time, but his ears are too floppy to hold them up! 😆 pic.twitter.com/aLiM1sfSjz

8. Be one of the cool kids.
It’s a big group we’ve got out there. Very, very big.
Here's a pic of my little guy, 8 yrs old. He's been wearing glasses since kindergarten and has always been one of the coolest kids in his class. His glasses dont define him, they just help him see better! She looks beautiful!!✌👍 pic.twitter.com/m4uzbAuUFb
