How a Really Nice Day Got Really Nasty, all because of my MOM

So someone told me that I was one of the prettiest girls they had ever seen before.

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
