You Have Your Mother's Eyes

Dad : You have your mother's eyes Me :

A smiling red-haired boy looks at the camera with one eye badly bruised and swollen shut. The joke is that the father’s compliment about inheriting his mother’s eyes is answered by an image showing an obviously injured eye, making the statement absurd and ironic. It is used as a reaction to jokes about genetics, family resemblance, or someone looking worse than expected.
