Anne with an E.


Looks can be so deceiving. Every day in class, I learn something new about a person whom I had a different impression about before. For example, the young girl who sits in front of me in my math class, who wears the Taylor Swift walmart teeny boppy clothing, seems like an over achiever, has watched A Little Mermaid at least five times this week, and doesn't look a day over 14, is in fact, a mother of a two year old. She definitely watches A Little Mermaid, but not for pleasure. What the heck? The sweet innocent Anne with an E of Green Gables by day, is Kandi with a I by night. Who knew she even knew the process of creating a baby. Or even looked twice at a boy. It seemed like those such things would be a fire brimstone sin in her life. I guess the tattoo on the back of the neck should have made me question things, but I just believed it was a rebellious moment on her eighteenth birthday that to this day, she still hides from her parents. I mean it is a butterfly for crying out loud. How extreme is that? It's not like it is her lovers name, or a dragon or the KKK symbol (if there is such a thing). But no, a simple delicate butterfly that symbolizes innocence and freedom. And its pink and purple. Hello late nineties child. Hello Kitty. Hello Bratz Dolls and Kung Fu Panda. It completely blows my mind.


All of this just to say, don't let first impressions rule you and don't be surprised when the 14 yr. old Hello Kitty math whiz turns out to be Sexy Hot Mama with an offspring.
