How to answer awkward questions about your appearance?

<p>

Humor seemed like a great idea when I played that moment in my head. However, do you think that if you don’t really tell people about your eyes they will ask you again the next time? Maybe just tell them the name of your disease and describe it but in a very serious voice and then maybe they won’t make a joke.

Hah yeah, when I make a joke they just ask again. And it’s not a disease!

I would tell them it was radiation and hint that my differently colored eyes were only the tip of the iceberg. But I’m a jerk like that.

LOL sometimes I say, “Oh, it’s just one of my little mutations…<em>giggle</em>” and people are like OMG REALLY?? As if they expect me to have 3 belly-buttons or something :P</p>
