Comparing eyes
Today to practice comparatives and superlatives in class I gave students a questionnaire asking things like: 'Who has the biggest hand?' and then 'Who has eyes similar to yours?' When I asked how eyes can be compared I expected answers like colour, size, etc. One student mentioned lines above the eye, and I was rather confused. Actually I still am because I don't notice lines or eyelid creases. Apparently this is a big deal to some people, and some even have surgery to get a 'double-eyelid' vs. a 'single-eyelid.' To me the idea is crazy, but I guess all plastic surgery is in a way.
