That's pretty big for a girl who for as long as she can remember has only been called fat and ugly.
As one can imagine, this made me very:
-happy
-excited
-confident
-sexy feeling
-happy
So I rushed home from the bus stop to tell my mom of the person's wonderful comment.
I tell her, and what does she say back to me?
Mom: "Of course, your internal beauty"
This made me want to cry. How could she say something like that? I looked at her agape, she quickly corrected herself with: "You know, it just makes you glow!"
Yeah right, mom, you're not getting off that easy. I seriously considered throwing a total hissy bitchy fit, but I know my mom cannot be trusted with words.
She is the one who called "Dora the Explorer" a latino doll.
She still kind of took me off my pretty high.
PS: Read this book:
"Crap Lyrics" by Jack Sharp

learning how to get over what other people think, including parents, siblings, friends, is tough. but it really comes in handy sometimes. =]
