Eye Nonsense

I was not about to shut my eyes to the fact that I had just found lipstick on my boyfriend Rick’s collar. Had I not kept my eyes peeled, I might have missed it. Hm-m-m, I thought, there is more here than meets the eye. Therefore, I decided to have an immediate eyeball to eyeball confrontation with that two-timing Rick.
Now Rick is able to see out of the corner of his eye much better than some folks and has been known to look at girls that were pleasing to the eye. This I am sure has led him to have a roving eye on occasions. But, the lipstick is a bad omen in my mind’s eye and I had a difficult time confronting him although I had seen it with my own eyes.
“Rick,” I said, “I am not a starry-eyed maiden, but when you come home with lipstick on your collar, it’s gonna tell on you! He could not meet my eyes and I knew right then that my eyes had not deceived me. “Look me in the eyes," I said. “Tell me you have not been unfaithful.” That got his attention and he was all eyes now!
“Babe,” Rick said, “I don’t believe my own eyes! You think I have been unfaithful? Oh, Dearest One, never! Just shut your eyes to such nonsense.” And, he began to cry his eyes out as he explained that a lady on the street had fainted in his arms and he couldn’t just drop her as he was standing on a busy corner in the public eye. “I had never clapped eyes on this woman before in my life,” cried Rick.
As he lifted his face to meet my eyes, he said, “Please look at this through my eyes.”
And I did. In the twinkle of an eye we were in each other’s arms. This had been a real eye opener for me. My man didn’t have a wandering eye. He hadn’t made eyes at another woman.
“I understand, Rick”, I said. “Just remember that my Granny lives in a Louisiana swamp and can put the evil eye on you if you don’t your p’s and q’s!”
