martin: when i was younger i would insist my eyes were grey. it never went on my driver’s license or anything, but occasionally someone would squint at me and lean a little closer and ask, “what color are your eyes?” at first i wasn’t sure why people kept asking me that, but i took a good look in the mirror and decided they really were strange. almost grey.
in the beginning of diana and martin, during one of our all-important discussions about life, the universe, and volvos the subject of eye color was brought up. by that point i was over the “my eyes are grey” thing, but i still felt a special connection when diana said her eyes were “watery brown.” it’s the color of our daugthers’ eyes. yes, watery brown. let’s get that on your driver’s license.
