Just a ME thing

Mama (she didn't want to be called Lola, don't ask me why) wanted to bring me to a dermatologist to remove them . . .

My son has this dislike for moles (don't ask me either) and he asked if what I had were moles? that's ALOT of moles! . . .

Friends offered aesthetic advice, rubbing lemon on my face (i'd rather have it with some salt and a shot of Cuervo :-), the latest freckle-relieving wonder, even the strongest SPF known to man (hmmm, steel armor comes to mind) . . .

Relatives would exclaim "Bakit dumami yan?" with gasps in the background . . .

I was ready to give in, to have my beloved freckles lasered, removed, even resorting to home TV shopping remedies (Rosehip anyone?) . . .

When my daughter just patiently said, "Mom, you'd look like anyone else without your freckles. It's just not you." Wise words from a 16 year old who has no ounce of vanity in her.

And so, i wear my freckly face proudly, a splash of SPF and here I come SUNSHINE!

JOURNALING:

Tag 2: THANKS TO MY FRECKLES --- I'm in the company of Lindsay Lohan, Howdy Doody, Archie Andrews, Lucille Ball, Dennis the Menace, Pippi Longstockings and a bunch of other "greats" ...
Tag 3: THANKS TO MY FRECKLES --- I stand out in a plain faced crowd ... it makes me different, even unique, some say it's a skin thing ... FRECKLES is a ME thing!!!
