Skeptical Spectacle

Noro was always a gullible pop(ped) corn. She believed everything anyone said. But one day, she couldn't see the broccoli mountains beyond the fog when it (the fog) went away (evaporated/condensed/i don't remember my science). So it was probably just the fog right? But she stood there whole morning, as if routined gone wrong, waiting, and waiting for the visible mountain to appear. "It can't be. I've waited here for hours." So, she finally stood away from the window and went to Marqo, the butter stick and called him to the window to see if he could see the broccoli mountains. He could. He could see them clearly. Standing green and tall. She believed him anyway. Because she was gullible and well, because it was a truth of a fact or a fact of the truth. "You should get your eyes checked. All those staring out and about might've worn out your vision." "Yeah. I should!" Replied Noro.

So, Noro headed off to the nearest optician - or maybe the only optician in town. She got her eyes checked and lo and be hold, she had a condition and had to get new pair of glasses. She got excited knowing that now she could choose ~*funky*~ glasses with ~*groovy*~ frames! Wear them on a casual day, wear them when dressed up, wear contact lenses when she feels like showing her eyes and surprising people and getting comments like "you look different today but I don't know what it is" to which she would respond to "oh, i normally wear glasses but i've got my contacts on" "love the way you did your eyeliner" "why thank you" "you've got lovely eyes".. you know! The little "change" you show people when you feel like dressing up.

So she got her glasses. And the moment she put it on, it didn't believe anything she felt. Her glasses could speak to her in a non-normal way of speaking. It was a gut speaking kinda conversation. Her eyes didn't believe anything that she knew/thought it was. She walked back home with a frown she wanted to get rid off. But didn't know how to. Maybe she wasn't used to having something on her face. Something that is now a part of her. We don't know..

She saw a ladybug on the ground. She knew in her heart that it was, but her vision was always skeptical about it - making her confused, and popped with a trance of anxiety. "Are you sure it's a ladybug or is your heart playing tricks with you?" "I'm sure it is", Noro replied herself. "What's going on?" "What's this second voice that I feel inside?" "And for the first time, I am disagreeing with something that isn't me."

"I am very sure it's a ladybug. It's red, it's a bug and it has black spots."
"No Noro, look closer, are you sure it is? I doubt it is."
"I can't agree with you. I know for a fact it is. If not, then what is it?"
"I don't know. It's a living thing. But I doubt that it's a ladybug."
"What makes you think it's not a ladybug?!"
"Not all bugs that is red and have spots are ladybugs.."
"That's the stupidest thing I've heard the whole time."

Noro grew to have a love hate relationship with her damn skeptical spectacle but it made her stand up for what she believed in and stronger at opinions. Thank god for blurred visions at times and skeptical specticales!
