When I was 5, I asked my Dad how a doctor could tell if a new-born baby was a boy or a girl. His answer? "By the color of their eyes."
A childhood belief about eyes
others believed things like this
- I used to believe that if you stared into a cat's eyes, my eyes would turn that color too.— silvia
- 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
- How could Baby Jesus be born on Dec 25th, get tall, grow a beard and then die, all by Easter. Whew!— Joe
- I used to believe that I was older than my brother because I was born in June and he was born in OctoberAnon
- when asked what i would like to be when i grew up, as a girl of about 5, i answered "a horsey".Anon
