I'm at Six Flags over Texas, having been invited by a friend from college, whose employer is celebrating a remarkable safety record. I was provided with a ticket and meal pass, and am just now finished with lunch. What has impelled me to write is this: one of the Six Flags workers attending the line I find compellingly attractive. And she is probably old enough to be my mother. On some closer inspection, I found that her eyes are similar to Mrs. Zelasny's - and that those eyes form not a small part of her attractiveness. Also she has freckles. Freckles are significant, because I distinctly remember thinking them unattractive, even a year or so ago, and I remember more recently noticing them on Zelda and finding them endearing and attractive. But back to the eyes.
It has been said that when estimating a girl's appearance when she is older a look at her mother is advisable. I have looked on Mrs. Zelasny with this in mind, and I must admit that, in terms of visual appeal, I find her distasteful. I was consoled, however, by the fact that it seems Zelda takes her spectacular eyes form her father. So why this female, attractive for eye-similarity to Zelda's mother, who I do not consider attractive? On further thought, I suppose it may be that I do find her mother's eyes attractive, and that it is other aspects of her appearance that don't appeal to me. Or perhaps... Ach; I don't know. I sometimes fear I will never understand attraction.
