Since both my parents had blue eyes, and my brother and I have blue eyes, I thought that families had to have the same color eyes. A friend was the only blue-eyed person in her brown-eyed family so I was convinced she was adopted for years.
A childhood belief about eyes

others believed things like this
- I was born brunette with brown eyes and dark hair, i thought people with blue eyes, had water in them.Anon
- i used to believe that people with blue or green eyes saw that certain color— mellactica
- Eifel 65 - Blue
I'm Blue (if I was green I would die...)
[I'm blue, da ba dee, da ba di.]— Matt - I used to think that "cross-eyed" meant that people had X's for eyes, like dead people in cartoons.— Tim
- You know the eifel65 song "Im blue da be da ba di"
I thought he said "I'm blue I'm in need of a guy"— Anna - I used to believe that if you stared into a cat's eyes, my eyes would turn that color too.— silvia
