Eye wide shut

It's weird having a pet with only one eye.  It changes the things you say and they seem weird coming out of your mouth.  For instance:

Autumn is in Jeff's lap and he's petting her.  He wonders if she is still awake so he says, "Is her eye closed?"

Weird.

We're giving Autumn a bath.  I say, "Don't get the shampoo in her eye."

Weird.

Again with the lap and the petting.  Jeff says, "For a while she was asleep, but then she opened her eye."

Weird.

I gaze at her adoringly.  "You have a pretty brown eye, Autumn."

Weird.
