Mom, I have something exciting to tell you.What s up?I m going to have an operation to get my eyelids fixed .What? Are you saying that you re going to get cosmeticsurgery ? At a hospital?Well, it s it s not so expensive, and it s only my eyelids.Only your eyelids?lYeah. It s not like I m going to, you know, do anythindrastic . I m just going to fix it so I can look prettier.Mom, it s my money. I ve saved I ve been working tosave my money, and I i t s my body.So that explains it That s why you ve been working allthose jobs. You re beautiful the way you are. You lookgreat.But, Mom, boys don t see what you see in me. If I lobeautiful, then, you know, I ll be approached by moboys. Maybe I l l have a chance to get jobs that Iwouldn t be able to if I didn t fix my eyelids.Honey, you should attract people with your inner beauty.

Your p e r s o n a l ~your intelligence - not your looks.Mom, you don t understand. Boys aren t attracted byyour intelligence and your w ~ The first thing they seeis your looks. If you re not beautiful, they won tapproach you at all. Then how are they to know ~ yhave wit or intelligence?You can t do this.Mom, I m doing it whether you like it or not.I think you re making a terrible mistake.
