"I never noticed you had a gap between your two front teeth before!" C. said to me yesterday. "It's very Madonna. I like it."
"Uh..." I said, because no one has ever complemented the gap between my teeth before and I wasn't sure how to react. I am not really comfortable with complements to begin with, but when they are complements for things I really have no control over, well, it just seems kind of weird. I mean, it's like she is treating the gap between my teeth as some kind of aesthetic choice on my part. It's like she is saying, Oh! How rebellious and quirky of you not to have plain old regular teeth! Uh, thanks?
Also, I have never been compared to Madonna. I... I just don't have the words.
