It’s so cool how history can repeat itself. Becca – the “new girl” in the class – said that her school friend had mentioned how “tall and pointy” her nose was, in comparison to her Asian classmates. This sent me right back to my Stella Maris days, almost thirty years ago, when I was the new girl, and nicknamed “Pinocchio” for my own ski slope, which stood out among my Indian and black classmates’ shorter and flatter noses. Who woulda smelled that coming?
