Discussing Clodfobble's book

OK I had to stop reading to comment. And I didn't want to hijack the original thread. But Clod hit on a topic of particular interest to me.

Ms Fobble talks about looking at eyes when conversing with people. (I hate that too, especially if their eyes are blue). But.... here's what I wanted to say...... whatever people look at, it isn't both eyes. It can't be.

My daughter has one dark brown eye and one pale green eye. it's very unusual for people to notice immediately. Many know her for years and only find out when someone tells them. Then they are horribly embarrassed. Or amazed. Or both. But I can assure you it's he norm in our experience. We still await the Michigan Women's Club Water Polo Team noticing. It's been six months of up-close-and-personal contact so far.
