EYES

4 and a half or 5 years ago, Dave and I were at a baby shower for our friend Emily. We met an aunt of hers or of Ben's, and were talking. All of a sudden she interrupted to say, "Your children will have beautiful eyes." It was a passing remark, one we thought was funny since we were newlyweds and didn't have any imminent plans for children. It's odd to think of it now, since I don't honestly remember who she was. No matter, though, because she was right.
