Your eyes are...different

I was just sitting among some girls that Honey knows. I have met them before and I really like talking to them. We have discussed if I pray, if I can take them with me when I go, how I like it in Nigeria, stuff like that.

Todays topic was actually not them talking to me, but them talking to each other about me. I do not understand their language, they can be selling me for what do I know. I know that they will not, but still!

They were talking, pointing at me, pointing at my eyes and their own eyes. And I was surprised! What I know is that people here do not see eyecolor! ...well, what I know is only male response  of course, friends of mine that have told me about it. And here I am, in Lagos, among a bunch of girls that are truly discussing the color of my eyes!

I do not say anything, I let them be, they will turn to me, I know they will, when they are ready for it. And I didn't have to wait for long before one of the girls translate, she likes the color of my eyes, they are not like theirs, she call theirs black. Even tough in certain lights they have amber-color eyes, and that is so beautiful! A very dark color, that actually looks black if it would not be for the certain lights that make them show their real color. Anyway. She tells me that my eyes are, then she pauses for a moment, and tell me, they are different. I want to ask her, what color does she think I have, but the question slips my mind when she tells me that they have lenses here so that they can change the color of their eyes.

We have that too in Finland, I tell her.

And in my mind, I wonder, what is the point of changing the color of their eyes....as all the males I have talked to, does not even know that my eyes are different. The last one that I asked, told me that my eyes are black, and white. One have told me that I have green eyes. So, will guys even notice if a girl spends money on a lens just so that she can have different color on her eye?
