Black Eyes

Must have been a good school day because the Muffin Man was exhausted.

I came home just before bath time and he was hoping we could play Lego together. Declan asked for the shortest bath "just wash my hair and get me out" so we had a little more playtime before bed. I learned that Declan doesn't like his eyes. He wishes they were a different colour. When I asked which colour he'd like he told me "blue!"

He has blue eyes.

"I'm pretty sure your eyes are blue."

"No they're not."

"What colour are they then?"

"Green."

"No I'm fairly certain they're blue. What colour are my eyes?"

Declan stares at my eyes. "Black"

"I know the center is black but what about the colour around the black?"

He stares at me a little longer. "They're black."

Killin' me.
