How many eyes do you have?
Many years ago as children, we were playing hide and seeks with my dad and he got tired and decided to seat. Since we wanted to continue playing, he sat on a stool and asked us to choose a hiding spot behind him. When we were done hiding, he will call out our name one after the other and once we responded “ Yes, daddy” he would try to guess where we were hiding. Funny as it may seem , he seemed to accurately predict where we were hiding and we all laughed and ran towards him and then I asked a crazy question.
Daddy, How were you able to accurately predict where we were all hiding and he replied because I have four eyes. Two in front of my head and two behind my head (lol i am sure some of you shares similar childhood memories with me).
