The Mole
No this is not about a reality show....but rather my embarrassing confession.
I hope no one takes offense to what I am about to admit.
I hate moles....moles on people's faces make me nuts.
Now I'm not talking about a freckle or a beauty mark....Freckles are cute and beauty marks give character. I'm referring to the protruding brown icky thing that pops up out of the skin and screams STARE AT ME. The Cindy Crawford mole for example...I know everyone thinks it's a thing of beauty, or sexy even...but I just keep thinking cut that damn thing off. Dinero...there's another one. I KNOW what a great actor he is....hands down a legend...but that freaking mole by his eye....I stare at it through the entire movie and am grossly reminded of the crap we use to scrape off the cafeteria hamburgers in high school. Just disgusting.
So why do I tell you this...Why do I tell you anything really?
I held my perfect little daughter in my arms as she slept the other night and I studied her perfect skin. Then I wondered where she may freckle, or develop a beauty mark or two. Then I was suddenly shaken with fear...what if she grows a MOLE!!
When I was little I loved Little House on The Prairie. I did however possess the fear that if I EVER made fun of Mary Ingalls that I would then be stricken blind! What if that comes true for Moliness? What if my daughter is plagued by little bumpy brown moles because I secretly loath them....?
Oh my goodness... There's no way to know....I guess there is no answer other then, learn to look beyond them and love her to pieces anyway.....
God forgive me....
