My Wonky Eye
Posted on | October 13, 2009 | 6 Comments
Okay, so I have a wonky eye. I didn’t really know this until I saw a video of myself and there it was — wonk. And then I saw pictures of myself on my birthday at the tail end of the night and again – wonk. Here’s my best guess — when I’m tired and have had a bit of booze my eye gets all wonked out.
I’ve brought this to my friends’ attention and all of them have said, “What?!? You have no wonky eye!!” And I think they’re just doing it to be polite, but really I don’t care if I have a wonky eye. I see perfectly fine and Fancyhats doesn’t seem to mind it, so whatever.
Well, I still had this lingering doubt that I had a wonky eye because my friends are honest people who love me and they’d probably tell me if I did have a wonky eye, right? Or wrong? I didn’t know. So I’m visiting my parents right now and last night we went out to Mexican food. After I’d driven a fair amount and Archie hadn’t slept well the night before, so I was tired. And I had a margarita.
And my mom came into my room while I was reading in bed and said, “Melissa, what’s wrong with your eye?”
And I said, “OH MY GOD MOM! IT’S TRUE!!! I HAVE A WONKY EYE!”
She said, “What?”
And I said, “I KNEW IT! I HAVE THAT!”
She rolled her eyes (no wonk) and walked out the door.
In summary: the wonk has been confirmed.

Wonky? I’d probably say “Witty.”
Your friends are honest, it’s just that no-one notices any possible-yet-as-yet-unconfirmed “wonky” eye because we’re all bedazzled with your stunning beauty and your incredibly sharp-yet-charming wit.
You have a witty eye. Everyone knows that.

Well now you know. No more wonky eye wondering. I have an odd phenomena that happens to me: Whenever I sneeze, my high beams go on. No clue why. Odd…particularly during cold and flu season.

This is awesome! My left eye gets wonky when I’m tired, too. It used to totally wonk out when I was drunk. I don’t know how it looks, but when I’m extremely tired, I can only read by closing my left eye. It doesn’t want to work right when it’s drunk and tired, so I have to shut it off.

When I’m tired, my Rhode Island accent comes out. In summary, I’d rather have a wonky eye. It’s cooler.

Welcome to the land of Wonky eye. Treat it as a parlor trick. That is what has gotten me through some awkward moments. I just pick up a spoon and start whacking it loudly and everyone laughs and then does shots!
