When Does Iris Get Out Of The Mirror

Let's talk about Iris. Not the flower, though those are lovely too! We're talking about that sneaky little friend who lives inside your mirror.

The reflection. When *does* Iris, or your reflected self, finally get out of the mirror?

The Simple Answer (That Isn't So Simple)

The most straightforward answer? Iris never *really* gets out of the mirror.

Think of it like this: your reflection is light bouncing off you and onto the mirror, then back to your eyes. It's an illusion!

Like a really convincing, daily magic trick. So technically, *Iris* is stuck there, permanently.

But where's the fun in technicalities? Let’s say, just for argument's sake, that *Iris* *could* escape. When would it happen?

Imagine a sudden power outage. Total darkness! No light, no reflection.

Does *Iris* seize this opportunity to slip out? Maybe! Perhaps she thinks, "Finally, my chance!" and tries to sneak into the real world.

But then you light a candle. Boom! There she is again. Foiled again, Iris!

Okay, hear me out. Seven years bad luck, right? Maybe when a mirror breaks, *Iris* is released, a tiny, shimmering fragment of her former self.

She then wanders around for seven years causing minor inconveniences. You know, like making your toast burn or hiding your car keys.

Then, poof! Back in the mirror she goes! (This is obviously a joke, please don't blame *Iris* for your burnt toast.)

What if you're watching the most gripping, edge-of-your-seat TV show ever? You're completely engrossed, oblivious to everything around you.

Maybe, just maybe, *Iris* uses this moment of distraction to make a quick getaway. She jumps out and finally can enjoy the popcorn you prepared!

She gets to experience the world *without* having to mimic everything you do.

Alright, back to reality (sort of). Iris, your reflection, doesn't actually escape the mirror.

It's a fun thought experiment, though! And who knows? Maybe one day, science will discover a way to liberate our mirrored counterparts.

Until then, keep giving Iris fun outfits and silly faces. She appreciates the entertainment!

She's stuck with you after all!

And next time you look in the mirror, remember this article. Give *Iris* a wink, and wonder what she's *really* thinking.
