I continue to be surprised at this year’s eighth graders’ tendency to point out my zits. I don’t know if it’s just a fascination of theirs or if they are truly concerned for me, but they ask me about them all the time.
On Sunday, I had a tiny little forehead zit by my hairline. I didn’t leave it alone, so by Monday, it was a huge red bump on my head. The whole area around the tiny zit was swollen and angry. Three different eighth graders asked me about it. At least it was a good opportunity for me to tell them to leave zits alone if they aren’t ready.
When am I going to stop having zits? Isn’t there a statute of limitations on them or something?
It makes me think of a time in World History class with Mr. Fuchs, when he just stopped in the middle of the lesson and wondered out loud about a zit on the end of his nose. He, too, wondered when they would stop. Maybe I should ask him if he still gets them. Wait… Maybe I don’t want to know…
Ha! Great picture!!
I think that as long as you have pores, you’ll have zits. Not just you, all of us.
I’m going to work with a theme here….
massage your pores with beer.
Do I detect a 5:00 shadow? That really makes your zit stand out.
I just messed with a zit too soon. Right above my upper lip, under my nose.
Same problem. And Mom is older than you and she’s still getting zits. So, I’m pretty sure it’s genetic. And we’re screwed.
Stupid zits.
I talked to a dermatologist last month – she said it’s a myth that you stop getting zits. Sorry for the bad news. But it’s also a myth that eating poorly gives you zits, so bring on the chocolate! 🙂
And if you really want to get in touch with Mr. Fuchs, let me know. He goes to the same church in Lee’s Summit as my sister.
Lee’s Summit? As in Missouri?? As in home to a wonderful little cross-stitch shop I know of??? (Sorry – this tidbit will be meaningless to a vast majority of readers here…) Awesome!
Why yes – Lee’s Summit Missouri! Do tell about this cross stitch shop! I’m going to be the area over Thanksgiving and just might need to check it out! 😀

Thanks Carol! 🙂 I have a feeling my family will have to peel me away from there. 😉
Zits, Zits, go away!
Ruin someone else’s day.
Eat good food; still they come.
So let’s eat cake and drink some rum.
Thank you make-up of color green.
Cover the red and zits go unseen. 🙂
That’s just plain beautiful.
…sniff…this elegant poem brought a tear to my eye…brava!
Do you need a haircut?
No. That’s the leaves. 😉
hehehe…
And what do the kids ask you…
Why you’re still getting them?
Do you know you have it?
Does it hurt?
Can they take a crack at popping it?
???
They either say “What happened to your head?” or “Your head is bleeding!”
My head is never bleeding. It’s just that the ingrown hairs in the my neckline in the back of my head get red and angry.
