lashes

Dylan,

People routinely comment on your eyelashes, particularly their length. You were, in fact, barely minutes old when the doctor that delivered you enviously lamented the fact that it's always the boys who get the longest lashes.

It was pointed out today that your eyelashes actually extend all the way to your eyebrows. That quantitative representation really captures it, conveying much more to the hearer/reader than merely "really long" ever can.
