Unusual or Common

While I was reading Land of Oz to Kaeley the Scarecrow said something about unusual people making the best of friends, even better than the common folk. I always like to point out Kaeley's importance in the world and in God's Kingdom, so I took the opportunity. I said, "Which one are you? Unusual or common?" She thought for a moment and then said she was common. When I said I disagreed she asked what unusual and common meant. After I did my best to explain that unusual meant there was no one else like her I said, "Well, like, do we look alike?" She looked at my face and then nodded that yes we did, "Because we both have short hair." Hmm... "What color are my eyes?" I asked. After looking closely at my eyes she answered, "Pink." I felt like a white rat. It turned out later that she was looking at my make-uped eyelids.
"What color are your eyes?" I asked her. She looked up to the ceiling for a second and answered, "I don't know. I can't see them very well."
