My lament...sunglasses

My grandma has been visiting with us for the past eight days, and today we dropped her off at the airport. On the way back home, my mom took my siblings and I back on something called "the scenic route". As long as they don't take to long to go through, I find the scenic route pleasant. But today as we were driving, I was repeatedly annoyed by my sunglasses. They were tinted and made everything that was green look brown.

"Mom, I wish I didn't have to wear sunglasses,"
"Yeah."
"My sunglasses are making those fields look brown."
"Joss, those fields are brown."
"No they aren't."
[Mom takes off sunglasses]. "You're right. They are green."

But I looked on the bright side of things, my old sunglasses were tinted brown and made the sky, the land, and the air look like the earth was severely polluted.

At least these pink sunglasses were more pleasant.
