Arlo and Janis by Jimmy Johnson for October 04, 2024

Wouldn’t be an issue if your hair was longer

Could there ever be a right time?

Sorry, they do seem to get bigger the longer you’re walking around. From WebMD:

Noses and ears are made of cartilage, a flexible tissue that’s harder than skin but softer than bone. It wears down over time and doesn’t give as much support to the skin on top of it. Your skin also loses elasticity and firmness over time, and it tends to sag. Loose or sagging skin over a weaker cartilage frame makes ears and noses look longer.

Wrong explanation?

One of the perks of getting old is to have no care about our features. Soon enough they will get very much worse, but until then life goes on!

There are times when silence is golden! A kiss, a hug, etc will make her forget her ears, Bucko!

Not a safe reply. Arlo.

That was the perfect answer

It’s just one of them, the other is perfect.

all the more to nibble on

Still isn’t.

Say… what is the right size and what should we do if they aren’t that size? She’s lived her entire life so far with them.

They’re a distraction from her nose.

Slipping up and calling her Alfred wasn’t obvious enough?

“Does this hairdo make my ears look fat?” Argh! Another trap!

As you age, gravity causes the cartilage in your ears and nose to break down and sag. This results in droopier, longer features. Studies have estimated that ears lengthen at a rate of about .22 millimeters per year. The growth appears in men and women, so it’s just one of the many universal joys of getting older.

Too big? Why honey, they are beautiful, more to nibble on (then follow through).

He doesn’t look at her ears!

Been a week of minefields for Arlo and he’s managed to avoid stepping on any.
