goggles? or glasses?

I have gotten used to children pulling on my glasses, trying to rip them from my face, and getting tiny little finger prints all over them. This is a regular occurrence when babysitting. While I was in Uganda, I'm pretty sure I shook my head and said, "No," to a child pulling on my glasses every day. But children -whether African or American- are obsessed with glasses, there's really no surprise there. The random and funny fact here is that in Uganda, they're not called glasses, they're called goggles. Children pointed to my face, touching the glass lenses, "Goggles?" The first time this happened, I laughed, "No, they're glasses." I say to the child who most likely cannot understand me. "Goggles," the boy says again. Even with this simple thing (calling glasses goggles) I embrace his culture, his language. I smile and nod my head, "Yes, they are goggles."
