I was putting on eyeliner and the phone rang. I went to check and was soon engaged in conversation with a friend. It was some time later that I realised one eye had had the treatment and the other one hadn't. It got me to thinking. Why are we so insistent on things matching?
Pairs of socks, pairs of earrings, pairs of shoes. I know some people who just buy heaps of black socks so they always have a matching pair. I worked with someone who went off to do some training only to discover that she was wearing one black shoe and one navy blue one. They had slightly different height heels, so she used it as an excuse to go off and buy a new pair in the lunch hour.
On the other hand - or foot - our children had a teacher who had a fleet of court shoes of the same style in different colours and she chose to wear one red and one blue or one yellow and one green.
So maybe I'll deliberately do make up on one eye and not the other or wear earrings that don't match . Endless possibilities.
Later. Just a thought: Many of us wear rings on our fingers. My wedding ring is on my left hand but I don't have a matching one on the right hand. I wear a total of six rings and they are all different. How does that work?
