It is clear I was never the Pretty Girl. I had my two front teeth knocked out when I was 10 and didn't fix them until I was 19. I have a crooked smile and a nose that looks like it's been broken 12 times but never has been. My nose was always red so people called me Rudolph. My whole face is off-center.
I want any excuse to come home. My dad is not a spring chicken any more. If anyone says 'Go buy a postage stamp in London ' I'll go and do it.
