A Hump and A Ho
I try not to stare but I can’t help myself. It’s like when my mother would say, don’t be rude, don’t look at that little boy’s harelip. Just because she said it, my eyes would automatically focus on the oddity. I tell myself to be a better person, to be more accepting. But the reality is,…
