<p>I really have no meaningful contribution to your problem, OP, but I do feel better to know I’m not the only person who always thought it would be super cool to have different colored eyes. </p>
<p>If you ever run into me you’ll probably know because I’ll probably say “Oh my god, your eyes are so cool!” :)</p>
<p>Humor is the best way as someone suggested.</p>
<p>-What’s with your eyes?
-I’m a vampire
-No srsly
-srsly</p>
<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.</p>
<p>yea just make stuff up to people you don’t know. Like, “my mom’s Asian but my dad’s German.” or “I’m a test subject in a scientific study on genetic transformation.”</p>
<p>i would reply, </p>
<p><em>acts blur/shocked</em> “really??!! i do?? what the hell, my mom never told me!!” *storms off to the nearest mirror</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>
Hah yeah, when I make a joke they just ask again. And it’s not a disease! 
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>

<p>one of my really good friends has one blue eye and one green eye and she gets questions sometimes… </p>
<p>i find it REALLY cool that you have different colored eyes…</p>
<p>@Gotakun: Well the definition in my Bio book is “A disease or medical condition is an abnormal condition of an organism that impairs bodily functions, associated with specific symptoms and signs” and I’m hardly impaired! Heterochromia is often a sign of Waardenburg Syndrome or Hirschsprung’s disease, and I don’t have either. </p>
<p>@smski: That sounds kinda cool actually. I think blue/green is a better combination for sure!</p>
<p>Mine just look gross, like this: <a href=“http://buttercuppunch.files.■■■■■■■■■■■■■/2009/03/eyes-blue-brown.jpg[/url]”>http://buttercuppunch.files.■■■■■■■■■■■■■/2009/03/eyes-blue-brown.jpg</a> </p>
<p>I wish I had 2 green eyes or 2 blue ones! 2 brown ones would be better than what I have now, but brown is such a plain and common color imo. My hair is jet black so blue eyes wold pop more against dark hair.</p>
<p>Remember, it’s only awkward if you make it awkward. Laugh it off, pretend like nothing is wrong.</p>
<p>If people are treating you awkwardly / inappropriately because of that, you don’t want to associate with those people anyways.</p>
<p>I actually got the same thing. Central heterochromia (brown-blue) and sectorial heterochromia (left eye, dark brown - around 1.5 people in 1000 have that…:-)</p>
<p>Why do you have such weird/cool/freaky eyes?
<em>Looks around nervously, lowers voice</em> Don’t tell anyone, but I got kicked out of Hogwarts in third year!
guaranteed laugh.</p>
<p>Most people don’t ask further, those who do, get a washed-down, non-genetic-mutation scientific explanation and some blabla(ie, melanine,royal eyes, because all those Northern kings had those genes - it’s still a trait that can be seen with nowadays royals).</p>
<p>Wow Alexander, that’s pretty cool. I wonder what our kids would look like if we reproduced?! Probably the brown eye we each have would dominate and the blue eye would be recessive, so our kid would be another lame-o snoozefest with 2 same eyes, how sad. </p>
<p>Btw, what did you put on your Driver’s License about eye color? When the woman at the DMV saw I have 1 blue eye and 1 brown one, they said just to pick a color. I said blue since my brown one has a blue spot.</p>
<p>I didn’t know that about the Northern Kings thing. I’m not even White so I don’t know how that would work, i’m definitely not royal hahaha. :)</p>
<p>Your different eye color sounds pretty cool. One of the girls in my middle school class had your condition I believe. One eye was a combination of light green and brown, the other one was blue. It was pretty :)</p>
<p>Just tell people you were born like that.</p>
<p>Genes are trippy yo </p>
<p>with the proper nuances of course</p>
<p>I really really wish I had that cool a genetic mutation, like anyone who says anything negative just has to be jealous. I would never explain it, never, I’d just continue on that I was a mutant. </p>
<p>Honestly, I was born with an extra toe and I really love to pull it out on people. Till I was ten it was great but they cut it off. Still, my left pinky toe is attached to its neighbor toe and the two make up this fat, siamese toes duo with stitch scars and all that nonsense. I really think it’s the funniest thing but I’d trade it in a heart beat for two different colored eyes.</p>
<p>Driver’s license: blue
Passport: light blue, particular characteristics: sectoral heterochromia </p>
<p>It has led to some confusion, yes.</p>
<p>Our kids would probably have brown eyes, but our grandchildren… Btw: It’s been a long time since someone wanted to discuss children with me ;-D</p>
<p>Today in biology class we were talking about genetic mutations. I think like 7 people turned around and stared at me : [ ■■■ </p>
<p>@lucky: We were talking about that condition in bio today! It’s called Polydactyly I believe. My grandpa had that condition, except he doesn’t have the siamese duo combo. He had an extra tiny toe on one foot and got it removed when he was like 9 or 10, so now it looks normal.</p>
