do my eyes need adjusting?

So within an hour I made two visual mistakes and I think something is wrong with me:)


First Jack came up from the basement and asked if he could have a few of "these" to take camping with dad....I glanced and saw a green bag and thought it was the individual bags of Sun Chips....and I said no you can only take one....one for each of you.  Jack exclaimed, "one!  that's not enough!"  I said of course it is enough you don't need to take that many....so he pouted and did as he was told.  Later I am going thru his snacks and I see this baggie with 3 pastel mints in it.  I ask Jack "what is this?  that's not very many!"  He looks at me and says, you said one for each of us....we both had a good laugh:)

Then Jack was cleaning the bathrooms (his favorite job) and he brought a container to me and said is this what I use to clean the mirrors?  I am very specific about the mirrors because if the wrong stuff gets on the mirrors it is a pain to clean off!  I glance and say "yes, yes, that is the one"....off he goes...."mom it is kind of smeary"......"just keep wiping!"......more spraying....more spraying...."I think that's enough spraying Jack!"...."but it isn't getting very clear"....."just keep wiping"......more spraying....."mom, come look"....yes, I look and it is a very cloudy mirror....glance at the container and it is furniture polish...yikes....maybe I should just throw in the towel and go to bed!
