Guardian angels

At bedtime, I had just finished reading Are You My Mother? to Blessing #4. B#3, who shares the room, had been listening and then asked if I'd read part of the Christmas story to them.

We got to the part with the angel shining brightly, and B#3 interrupted me.

Luke 2:8 And there were shepherds living out in the fields nearby, keeping watch over their flocks at night. [9] An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them...

"Of course an angel wouldn't have appeared to me today. Of course not. Right, Moma? An angel won't appear to me today."

It took me a while to figure out why he was saying that, but it finally hit me. He knows those angels wouldn't want to hurt his eyes by shining too brightly in them... he had an ophthalmologist appointment today, and the doctor dilated his eyes. :):):)
