"Where Is His Other Eye?"


Gen and Chris also came out last weekend and brought Dexter a pumpkin and a package of Mr. Potato Head pieces to make a pirate jack-o-lantern. The "eyes" consisted of a single piece with one eye and one eye patch. Dexter was very concerned about this asking repeatedly, "Where is his other eye?" Gen and Ben spent about 10 minutes explaining what an eye patch was, showing Dexter with their hands how it covers the eye, and hypothesizing about why he needed a patch over his eye. Dexter listened intently to all the explanations and demonstrations and after each attempt at satisfying Dexter's concern and curiosity, he asked them, "Where is his other eye?" Finally, they decided to draw a string for the eye patch around the pumpkin and Dexter was content.
