strange

Since Aidan started wearing contacts he has been getting a lot of comments about the shape of his eyes. Mostly friends/students asking if he is part Asian*.  One of his teachers who is 1/2 Japanese said to him, "Your eyes look strange. Are you part Asian?"

What has really caught my attention is the word Strange being used by an Asian person to describe a feature she shares. 

*I am thinking it is possible that this could come from our N.A. roots. a random gene that popped up in the cornucopia of heritages that makes my boy. I am thinking that my grandmothers eyes were sort of hooded but I am not sure and too lazy to look for photo's.

update... i did a quick google search for micmac and found this woman with Aidan eyes. very odd. feeling like I did after seeing photo's of my Italian great-grandmother and her shocking resemblance to Aaron. Especially the eyes.
