I still remember the conversation amongst a group of siblings back in Kalamazoo when I must have been no older than five. My blue-eyed sister was talking about eye color. I had never noticed eye color. She had blue, another sibling had blue, someone else had brown. I asked what color my eyes were. Somehow the idea of having part of me as colorful as blue was so exciting, and maybe I was as cool as my big sister, who was nine years older than me, and therefore impressive. She looked at my eyes and pronounced them...brown. Boring, dirt brown. I was so deeply disappointed to have the color of the sky snatched away in an instant.

I never really appreciated brown eyes until this Tuesday. I was at the dentist having the first phase of a new crown done, and the dentist and her first assistant were running out of hands. Things were getting pretty uncomfortably at my end, too. Starting to get a little hard to breathe. So she called in a second assistant, one I hadn't seen before. And she looked down at me with the most beautiful eyes I have ever seen. The kind of rich deep brown eyes you can just sink right into. I kind of had to be careful not to stare, but they really were calming.

:) were you drugged up, by any chance?

i was rather late to notice eye color myself. but, once i did, ...

mine are a most unfortunate shade: nothing. some say "hazel"--- which i've always taken to mean "nothing in particular". talk about boring.
