Oh, the humanity!

Today I have a giant pimple on my chin. Well, I shouldn't say today, it's been there for days, my hormones out of whack. It just looks particularly, well, overwhelming today.

My daughter's friend came over today. She is staring at me and says, her voice trembling with fear, "What is that on your face?"

"A pimple."

Pause.

"A what?"

"A pimple. It's something that happens to your skin around the time you turn 13."

Pause.

Quiet voice, "I never want to be 13."

Thanks, kid.
