As if I wasn’t feeling self-conscious enough, my seventy plus co-worker comes in and tells me my nose is big! Let me elaborate, she is semi-retired, 75 year old German lady, who is known to scream her opinion loudly. Therefore, her making a bigger deal about it than anyone else was expected. When I got a mosquito bite she said 'I hope you didn’t catch anything contagious, mosquitos can give you the plaque stay away from me for a few days'.
For this reason I decided to mention my lip and tell it was just an allergic reaction, before she decided I had leprosy and ran out of the office in a panic. This what she said;
“I noticed your nose was bigger today, I thought wow I never noticed Lisa’s big nose before, I must have not looked at her from this angle before. But it must just be swollen and the bags under your eyes are puffy and dark almost blue. ”
I said that my sinus felt a little swollen so that must be why. That was not what she meant and she was quick to correct that misconception.
“No not on the sides, the front looks more bulbs, big and round.”
So of course I run to the bathroom to take a look, but I think, my nose looks normal…Thanks old lady I think your face looks like a leather purse crossed with a Shar Pei.
