No one else has them

I'm the blue-eyed misfit in

Brown-eyed family

***************************************

For years I felt like this; a misfit. Parents and five children, all brown-eyed except me.

"I don't fit," I cried.

Mom said I regressed to a pure gene, the blue gene of my grandfather. I like that much better than feeling like an oddity.
