I was talking to my mom earlier today and I was telling her how awkward it is when people say my brothers are handsome. Internally I'm like, " Where? Are we looking at the same person!?" I don't see it because they are a pack of snot-nosed twerps to me. She said that she feels the same when complimented on her handsome sons. She still sees her babies.
I guess our relationships color our perspective a lot. Siblings and children are seen in the light of "that kid I raised/grew up with" and we are occasionally(or fully) blinded to their appearance. I am fully blind to my sibs appearance. Like, I can help you look decent and your best so you don't embarrass me by looking like a slob, but Where is the supposed handsomeness? I don't see it. All I see is a little brother who threatened to flick a booger in my hair half an hour ago. All I said was that it was hanging out your nose.
As always, feel free to leave me a message below. I would love to hear another sibling out there relate.
