Writing Prompt: Appearance II

Write about a person whose reputation rests on the appearance of an inanimate object.


What is her problem? It's my body - and if I want a tongue ring I should get one. She says it's unsanitary and looks disgusting. Well, that's why it's in my mouth, not hers. She always turns everything around on her. Like the whole world revolves around her and what she thinks. I am my own person. I like to express myself.

Why does she feel the need to control everything I do? "Over-Protective Mom" does not come close to what I went through. I'm sure it's hard losing control over your daughter but at some point you have to let her be who she is... I mean, I have been WELL behaved compared to most and she doesn't see it. I may have been five minutes late for curfew a few times but let's face it, our whole family is late for everything. It's in my blood.

If someone judges you for this- chances are these people should be going home and looking in their own kids' mouths. They might be surprised.  I had told her. Pah. I could care less about what others think... I just wish my own mother wouldn't judge me so much.

Nice! It's good to remember there are always at least two ways of looking at an interpersonal conflict.

That's very true! I was told once there is 36 perspectives.... so any topic could be written from 36 different places. It would be an interesting exercise to try to get that many point of views. :)
