"is that... Is that an ant crawling on my head...?" Poor guy looks terrified ha
- I didn't even know that was there! 😄 I'd only seen this on my phone until now.
  Nobody likes bugs on them, no wonder it's so stunned looking!
- Someone probably told them what their common name is.
( O v O )
- It's got its eye on you!
"I left the oven on."
- This is me when I forget my wallet on the dresser and spend the whole day wondering if I really just forgot it again or if I lost it somewhere. So agonizing!
Boo book? MFer looks like it's about to get put into the Boo Box

  Oh jeez, I haven't seen that in forever and do not remember that bit at all! Kid movies were different back in the day... 😦
- There's so much it can't unsee... 🫢
He's seen things.
- They almost look like they could see a few seconds into the future! 😶
  
  Like the precognition of Evadne Cake?
  because she tends to reply to a question right before it has been asked. Yet, if she has replied and then the person decides not to ask the question, she gets a terrible headache.
  Maybe.:)
Pre-fried legs 😅
But those eyes 🥹
- Lol double breaded for an extra crisp taste.
  If you love giant eyes, a hawk owls always satisfies!
The owl has the sparrow hunting eyes of my black cat, she loves to stalk sparrows and looks just as bigeyed as the boobook.
- I don't see how anything could escape eyes like these!
