A Moral If You Please
Last night my whole family sits around.. just you know, eating chips and drinking whine... We begin to discuss the controversial subject of Lazy Eye-ness, specifically, the difficulty of making conversation with a Lazy Eye. We discuss feeling awful when conversations produce that inevitable awkwardness caused by the uncertainty of eye-contact-placement.
To elaborate on the subject, my brother reminisces on a time when Lazy Eye-ness made him a victim. An old acquaintance of his unfortunatly had, well you know.. and my brother was never sure if this friend was trying to make conversation with him or with the man on his right. Needless to say, they didnt stay friends for long because of problems caused by Lazy Eye-ness ...
After his anecdote the room gets very quiet for reflection on friendships lost due to Lazy Eyes, but someone breaks this silence- Suddenly, my father, who this whole time has been sitting in the corner of the room rocking quietly in his chair, yells with passion,
"Those Lazy Eyes should feel grateful!! Why, in the sixteenth century they would have burned their a$$@$#@!! Them and their witchcraft ways!"....
He was completely serious.
So, from the fountain of knowledge that is my father I gathered a moral- Be thankful for your magical abnormalities. More importantly- be thankful that we live in a society that can accept the evilness behind them.
