So I walk into my child's school. That's when the stares start. I greet a new person or meet a new client, that's when the stares start. It always goes right to my ears. Why you ask? Because they are grossly malformed. Cauliflower ear or wrestler's ear is what it's called. "It makes you look tough." Ahhh, no it makes me look like a fighter, a tough guy, a warrior. Nope it makes you look like you have a deformation. When a person with no arms walks by you know that you can't help but look and notice. Is having cauliflower ear the same as having no arms? Of course not. However people stare.
So now I'm at the gym. Listening to my ipod and trying to work these dumb buds into my malformed ears and wondering "why don't they have earphones for people with cauliflower ears?" I guess it would be a niche market. But still I ask a guy "you done with this station? His reply "yea",but he's looking at my ears. Is it a big deal? No not at all, but sometimes I wonder what people are thinking? Do they look in disgust?Wonderment?Jealousy? or are they just wondering how I find an earphone to fit those weird looking ears. I wonder what they feel like?
