So, today I go for a family meal for my Dad's birthday. My family have seen the buzz cut lots, in fact my younger brother and Dad sport the same look.
Anyway, it was WAY too hot in the restaurant to keep my cap on, so I ditched it (Yay for me!)
To cut a long story short, my brother pointed out that he had never realised before how tiny and elf like my ears are!! Cue the family all looking at said appendages.."Fairy Ears" "Hippo Ears"
Never expected THAT! :)
-
Leigh next time just leave those ears at home and use the ones you used in your avatar they look fine! :)
-
There's always gotta be at least one bonehead who feels the need to make an unwelcome comment. Boxman's right, though, you're ears look fine.
-
Must be the phase of the moon or something ... seems like "family" are stirring up lots of troubles this week. Sheesh!
-
I here that frontier guy.
-
I think your elf ears look fine Leigh. ;) ;D

"My Family has issues with my baldness" Would this be a good episode title for Jerry Springer, Dr. Phil or both? Seriously, though I guess no family can avoid ignorance....tough break man, don't let it get you down.

My mom days she really don't like me bald very time I go bald again. It's why im not sly 24/7 but now I'm just like pfft deal with it.
-
my family have never had an issue, thankfully. It seems to be people I haven't seen for a while (that never knew how bad I was receeding) that always seem to have the problem.
-
They wern't being malicious, and to be honest, there are worse things than having pixie ears..Huge feck off elephant ears!
-
You have taken the high road and you are a good sport. "Hats" off to you! :)
-
LOL, of all the things to focus on.
Families huh?
-
Hey, family is family. One does not get to choose his/her family. They might get you some hard times, but they are still yours.
If you would have had a problem with the ears they would have made fun of that long time ago or they would have never picked on you because of that.
IMO they were just having fun, unfortunately for you it was fun only for them and not for you too.
Maybe next time if they do the same you could either tell a joke about ears, make fun and move on or tell them they make you uncomfortable or you can always find another way to change the subject.

Actually, I found it kind of funny. It created a discission on ears!

Oooo, that was colder than a brass toilet seat in the Yukon to say that. I would have told then they are like the ears of the rest of the family. Don't go feelin' bad, ya hear.

Hey, if you're okay with it, so am I...Maybe I was being a little too sensitive about it and it wasn't even my family!

They don't use brass in the Yukon for toilet seats. They use styrofoam. The instant you sit on it, it is WARM! Wonderful invention or should I say application to the task. I used to live in the far north. These seats are great, even at 50 below.

Ive examined said ears, and it has to be said that there is more than a touch of the elf about them!
Now, the question is, who is my real father??

-
Nothing wrong with your ears. Maybe you are related to Legolas. Hehehe
-
Legolas! That's the one! Brother from another mother!
-
Sure beats being a sister from another mister :)
-
It sure does! Though, with my family, who knows!
