That Big Forehead

[Colleen]

I was made fun of for being small. That still hasn't gone away.

I had people come up to me in school to put their fingers around my wrists... they couldn't believe how skinny I was. I hated that. Mean Big kids...

Aww, that's terrible!

That's happened to me, too. Also, people always have the need to compare their hands to mine.

Them: [i]*gasp* Colleen, your hands are so small![/i]

Me: [i]*gasp* Maybe your hands are just that big![/i]

LOL!

I had actually never noticed different foreheads before...I never noticed "big" foreheads...

Hmm...I get made fun of for being tall but "un palo" ("a stick", spanish expression for slender)...at leats I used to

And for having "big green eyes", turns out they're "very expressive", people can tell wether I'm mad, happy, sad

The master trivia of all trivia...

What is the origin of the word "trivia"?

The origin of the word trivia is a reference to public plazas in ancient cities where "three roads" would meet. Pedestrians, townsfolk, business owners and other would go out into the plaza to discuss random things and make small talk and basically tell each other about little, unimportant things...trivial things.

:crackup:

I prefer to make fun of your avatar's bitter-beer face.

[VeraMaria]

Hehe, it's funner to sketch big foreheads....

*from a person who took a face pencil sketching course, and wants to take an advanced one *

Of course nothing beats full lips or big noses for fun in drawing...

You are not short you are vertically challenged.

You are not Tall you are vertically gifted.

You are not big there is just more of you to love

You are not small you have a bigger capacity for greatness

You are not funny looking you are uniquely created

You are physically (mentally) disabled you are uniquely gifted

for God does not choose the qualified, He qualifies the chosen.

Least favorite thing about middle school was that I was the nerd runt. Now I get to pray for those bullies for the rest of my life.

ever notice that there's never any middle school reunions? No one would come.

[Sojourner]

My high school and middle school were in the same building, same people, everything. Pretty much you couldn't pay me to go to a reunion. I'm not as bitter as I was, but still ... just not a time in my life I want to revisit.

[Carrie]

In middle school, they used to call me Spirals b/c of my hair. Mean kids.

[MC Just]

i used to get made fun of because of my mullet.. My big forehead and because i was poor

[socalscout]

Unfortunetly I have a big forehead but it is not by birth but by age and it keeps getting bigger.

[Lil Red]

i just got picked on cuz i was the skinny, red haired, freckle faced kid that nobody liked. ah well, now they are jealous of my beautiful skin, my gorgeous hair, and my slenderness!
