Do you have any physical imperfections? I know I do and I'm sure you do
as well. I'm not talking about my physical stature being almost five foot five,
my loss of hair or the wrinkles I've noticed. Some are signs of aging, others
are physical characteristics I've lived with and have grown to like.
The one imperfection I have that is gross even to me is my toenail
shaped like a parrot beak. It's not that I spend a lot of time dwelling on it,
only when it needs trimming. A wire cutter is the only tool that works on this
stout parrot beak nail. Not many people need tools from Home Depot to trim
their toenails but I do for this one lone nail. Alas! I know my dreams of being
a foot model are dashed because of this beak nail.
I'm sure there are others that have body parts that do not
conform to the norm. It's also likely that many people have toenails they are
not interested in displaying in public. Pedicures are popular with many women
and some men these days, thankfully this does not interest me. I'm sure I would
be shunned, turned away by the nail salon or charged an additional fee to paint
this talon like growth.
To be perfectly honest, hand modeling is
out as well since I’ve recently developed this arthritic protrusion on my wrist. It
looks like an extra digit is pushing through the skin much like how I imagine
a new island is born.
The thought occurred to me the other day that I should paint a parrot beak nail on my wrist bump. That would make it more of a conversation piece but my wife said that was a bad idea.
