[blparent] curious.

[Jo Elizabeth Pinto]

My daughter is almost eight years old, and she still half believes I have a 
pair of working eyes hiding somewhere under the hair in the back of my head. 
Sometimes she'll draw a picture or bring a really good paper home from 
school or something, and she'll be really excited and say, "Look, look!" 
I'll remind her I can't see it, and she'll say, "Mom!  Look with your back 
eyes!"

When raising my girls, my husband and I used to say, the eyes in the front
of the head may not ork, but the ones in the back do.  We'd joke about it,
and the girls knew what we meant.

What an interesting topic:
For my part, I have many nieces and nephews but never had that difficulty.
I am a to look like I am looking at them enough so that they don't notice
anything till they are about 4 or 5.  Then they wonder why I keep my eyes
closed sometimeso.  I just tell them I don't need my eyes like they do.
