Boys Will Be Boys


(Didn´t you love these movies?)

I ("eye") certainly have a special look on eyes.

My Dad was, my Brother is an optometrist and without glasses I´d be lost.



Ingo?
Well. He comes from a village.
They had cows there and to prevent those from running away they had barbed wire fences.

Boys will be boys, right?

They sneaked in, what else?
You bend down, push up that piece of fence and dive through, right, easy.
But when boys, as in plural, do the same thing at the same time the fence is "strong" and tends to snap back!

Logical, huh.

Right into the eye!!!!



KIDDING

This IS Ingo´s eye, we got the scan in Freo (mine, too, but they messed it up and that eye was brown, mine are grey-green).



Ingo loves to tell this story to scare people off (me included).
His Mum has the same eye.
Genes!

I learned from Elizabeth the theme is "eyes" now and you cannot let me not tell this story ;-)



I told this more than once, my name is not due to the flower, but the eye (Iris-scan, etc).

Eyes.

I lost a whole lot of the hearing on my right ear.
Bad.
But the eyes? Thanks to my Brother or any optometrist, I can see!!!

What would you choose to loose if you had to?
Ohhh, Freddie, I think I´d choose my ears. And then I could hear you only when...

Please, if you don´t know him, let me introduce you to one of the very rare German musicians I love, Herbert Grönemeyer.
(If you like I continue with this).

This is a song, (here are the lyrics and google translate can do the job), about a girl.
She likes music only when it´s LOUD because... the love of her life has to be a bass-man.

She is deaf and can only feel the music.... when it´s LOUD.

         

Lion of the day:



Look in four eyes!

Addendum: we got the scan/photo here - that is really Ingo´s eye.

...thanks to my cataract surgery my distance is great, without reading glasses I can male out a thing! There's to seeing you!

Iris Flavia said...

Oh! I prefer glasses, I guess. Being treated on the eyes must be as scary as the dentist! I see you through glass!
(But, yes, glad we have these options!!!)

Lustige Bilder heute! Dir einen schönen Tag, GlG, Valerie

That song has a good beat, might be nice for walking to. I have glasses and need new ones, been having trouble lately but have learned my blood pressure is up again, so maybe wait until that is treated, it might make a difference with they eye test.

Ella said...

Very funny pictures today!
The eye of Ingo is interesting! Do I see the "iris" in? LOL
I also like to listen to the music loud ...
A little BIG hug! 🤗
Yuppie ... is Friday again!

Iris Flavia said...

River, yes, there could be a connection, fingers crossed it´s "just" the blood pressure!

Ella, hehe, funny you, guess Ingo and "eye" were just meant to be!
To a happy Friday and BIG hugs :-) xx

I'm not sure I understand what the scanned eye is representing. I like the lion today, though.

When hubby and I grew up we didn't have glasses. Both of sons need correct lens.
Well now as we age we now have glasses

Bleubeard and Elizabeth said...

It's wonderful that you have a family of optometrists. I know, now just a brother, but still. I always love it when you tell how you got your first name, dear. Lovely post.

My name is Erika. said...

Love those monsters!

PerthDailyPhoto said...

Oh my gosh Ingo's eye scan is incroyable Iris, must be quite rare I'm sure! People don't think of the other version of Iris do they, just of the flower 🌼

Jeanie said...

Ingo's eye is pretty wild! I've never seen an eye in that way. And I loved today's lion!

Iris Flavia said...

Bill... YES! :-)

Dora, times are a changing, both my Nieces have glasses already. Crazy...

Elizabeth, I know I repeat myself, but ... it´s for Dad...

Erika, yes, one German one went to Perth even :-)

So. Reckon Ingo missed telling you that awful story! ;-) Lucky you!
People go "ewwww". He must really love you, sparing you that one!

Jeanie, yes, to both. It´s nice to know it´s but the genes with that eye!
