The lazy eye

I love the lazy eye. I don't have one though. I'm not saying I want one either. I just think the lazy eye is a really funny thing. A professor in college I use to know had the lazy eye. Every class he would choose people in the room to answer a question and everytime they would always have the same reaction. The pupil would look to his or her left then to their right before finally turning back to the professor and saying, "me?". You see, it was hard to tell if he was looking at you or to the person on either side of you. You couldn't tell which eye was the good one and which was the lazy one. Interestingly, he never got fed up with people asking him whether they were the intended target of his question. He would always politely nod with a jovial smile as if to say, "of course I am picking on you my child."
I've come across several people in my life that had this condition. I never made fun of them or called them names. I never poked their lazy eye with a stick to see what reaction it would have. I would just laugh to myself on the inside. Kind of like I do when someone says "do do" out loud. "We don't make lollipops but we do do gum." If I can, like not during a conference call with a client but rather with a friend or store clerk, I stop the person in mid-sentence and question them: "You do do?" Then I laugh. Classic!
