I Have a Confession to Make

23 Comments/ 2445/ 0

I am a big fat liar.  I am.  I know that that is hard to imagine.  Me???  Yes, sadly it is true.

You see, I had a revelation or epiphany or something and I felt that I had to share it.  I don’t want to misrepresent myself to you.  And I feel that I have been.  For a long time.  All my life, perhaps. So it is time to come clean.

My driver’s license is wrong.

I have always said that my eyes were brown.  Guess what—they aren’t.  They are hazel.  Shocking?  Yes.  I know it probably rocks your world.  It did mine.

I have ALWAYS answered that question BROWN whenever asked.  I have lied.  I did not realize it but I did .   I don’t know when the change happened.  It just did.  I think they must have been brown at one point.  Why else would I have ever said that that is what they were???  My parents raised me to tell the truth. Lying about eye color is ridiculous.   Why would I lie about that???   The only explanation is that they have changed color.  I never really thought about it a lot but when I catch my husband creeping staring looking at me intently and he says I have really disturbing scary  neat eyes I guess it prompted me to look at them more closely.

If this doesn't give you nightmares I don't know what will!

I know that now you all will have horrible nightmares about ugly eyes and skin with big pores and bumps and lines and wrinkles and all that but I am posting this picture for full disclosure.  I can no longer live with the lie that I have become.   I have to get it off my chest.

Hello.  My name is Beth Ann and I have hazel eyes.   Please accept my apologies for my previous half truths.  I did not know what I was saying.   And I also apologize for posting the scary picture.  Do you realize how difficult it is to take a picture of an eye and not have it be scary???

      My husband just read it and said “You have lost it—I need to get you out of Lima”. …… I would like to think that I am just being introspective..or something! 🙂

    We’ll burn in the fires of Hell together.

    My license states I have Brown hair when, in fact, it’s really a chemically-induced, beautifully high-lighted/low-lighted Blonde. I’m a Hairstylist and, in my world, nothing is really…real.

    Hazel eyes tend to change with the weather. Mine are Green/Hazel; more Green when I’m angry.

    Which is often.

    I always say my eyes are greenish bluish grayish with a little bit of orangish brownish. But that won’t fit on my license, it says green….

    You’re too cute Beth! It doesn’t count as lying if you didn’t know it yourself. Scary eyes? Are you kidding? You have beautiful eyes! And those long curly lashes? I will kill for some of those!!!

    Beth Ann, when we learned our colors, there was not one HAZEL in the Crayola box. It was not a choice. Besides, Hazel was my aunt. But, an eye color? I didn’t learn of hazel eyes until my daughter showed up with them. We always thought they were brown until someone MUCH WISER enlightened us. I think the truth was probably withheld from you, too. And you have a lovely eye. Think of all the wonderful things you’ve seen with it.

    Mine did the same thing! When I was young I had super dark brown eyes. About ten years ago they started getting lighter and have much more green in them. Thanks for the eye photo! 🙂

    My poor, poor daughters! You can blame the brown eyes turned hazel on me. The same thing has happened to me. You are now learning you get some changes as you age. I should know. And they are not all good!! But life is good anyway.

      Hazel eyes can be variations in eye color, as blue, brown, gray, green, and others. Mine are basically brown, green with gold but they can just about anything—just kind of mixed up colors!!!
