A person who is nearsighted and relies on glasses or contacts to see, decides to test their vision by looking at pictures without their glasses on. They struggle to identify the subjects in the pictures, making humorous guesses such as a Bratz doll, a baby wearing a bullfighting outfit, and a sloth with a blue face. They also mistake a picture of their mom for someone doing a "Home Alone" face and a picture of a person for a cartoon character. The person finds the exercise entertaining and insightful, realizing that their brain makes up colors and patterns that aren't there when they can't see clearly.
