true story: endless impossibilities

I have a nose ring.

My mom took me to get it over Mom's weekend during college.

It hurt really bad, but I was one of the first of my friends to have one.

Within two years, pretty much everyone got one.

Or an eyebrow ring.

I am glad I went with the nose ring, since my sister's eyebrow is pretty jacked-up.

Anyway, when I started working here the personnel manual said no facial piercings,
so I decided to keep it until someone said something.
No one ever did.
So, I have loved it for almost a decade..

Yesterday, my co-worker asked me when I got my nose ring.

I said, ten years ago.

He asked me if I wear it much.

I said, every day. For ten years.

I laughed and tried to make him feel less uncomfortable...

... 'til he said that he might have always thought it was a whitehead.

Yep.
