Under construction

“Oh, grandmother, what big ears you have!”

“All the better to hear you with.”

“Oh, grandmother, what big eyes you have!”

“All the better to see you with.”

“Oh, grandmother, what big big circles underneath your eyes¹ you have!”

“They’re from staying up all night blogging with the wolf, you dimwit!”

¹unfortunately, there is no catchy English expression for “dark circles underneath your eyes”, like for example the succinct Spanish “ojeras” or the German “Augenringe”. Since “dark circles underneath your eyes” didn’t sound very catchy as a blog title, I settled for “Eye Bags” instead. I know that is technically not the same thing, but with enough lack of sleep and lots of coffee, those circles should eventually turn into eye bags.
