Unforgettable Words

Hey.

I am one hundred percent forcing myself to write today.  It's not coming naturally at all.  We'll see how that goes.  I can't remember if I told you last time, but I'm skipping one of the prompts: my three worst traits.  Those are far too obvious to me and I don't need to dwell on them.  The next prompt is something (good or bad) that someone has told me about myself that I've never forgotten.


I remember hearing that kids need to hear ten positive things to make up for one negative comment about them.  Unfortunately, this is one of those cases where the negative comment latched itself onto my brain and has never left me.  
It will sound silly and ridiculous, and you'll probably think, like my husband, that I need to grow up and be more confident.  Oh well.
Someone had told me that my big eyes reminded them of a bunny.  I mentioned to another person that I had been told I reminded someone of a bunny, and their reply was, "Why? Because you have big front teeth like a rabbit?"


Ouch.
Ever since that moment I have loathed my incisors, and everyone with a dainty row of pearly whites has been a subject of envy.  
It's dumb.  I know.  And I'm sure if I thought a little harder, I would come up with something more character shaping or earth shattering.  However, that was truly the second thing that came to mind after another comment that I already shared with you a month or so ago.  
So there you have it.  Short and not so sweet today.  I promise to be more butterflies and bunnies rainbows next time.
Later,
Aim
