Keen Sense of Observation

I just started rereading one of my Louis L”Amour novels, Fallon. The character is described on page six as having “a keen sense of observation.” L’Amour then says , “Rarely did people…recognize what they were seeing.”

I am not sure why, but it caused me to think of a funny moment of recognition on the part of my granddaughter. When she was three, we were sitting in her living room, having a big family time. I was sitting on the floor, and she was dancing around me singing and squealing and laughing.

All of a sudden she stopped and said, “GrandDad, you have hair in the back!”

I wonder why we do not always see and recognize things about us.
