Cross-Eyed

I don’t know if this has been discussed before, since I am relatively new to this site.
Today, we were having a discussion in school, and an old topic came up:if someone hits you in the back when you have your eyes crossed, do you stay like that? No one seemed to have a definite answer.

Sounds like the same Old Wives Tale [TM] as “If you cross your eyes too much, they’ll get stuck that way.”

I’m convinced these rumors get started by people who think crossing your eyes looks icky-poo, in an attempt to make people stop doing it. Sorta like that rumor about cracking your knuckles giving you arthritis.

Doesn’t sound like a Great Debate to me. Off you go to General Questions.
