I have a wart. Its name? Well, its Watson, "Watson the wart".
It came on a cold day, at first i observed it, seemingly small, round in shape,no change in color on top of my right hand knuckle, of all places!
A week went by, people started to now make comments on my round protruding flesh. 'What is that?' 'i don't know, it grew in a week!' and then i would become fascinated with my new topic of conversation, 'do you think its a wart?'... Needless to say most joined in with my fascination, mocked, or were simply and utterly repulsed. (NEVER USE THIS CONVERSATION STARTER IN A GROUP OF OLDER SISTERS IN SERVICE)
And then it became a problem...
You see Ive caved in with this new cool thing all the young hipsters are doing it these days, you may know it by its term "punching it" followed by a reaching out of the clenched fist to clenched fist touch of approval..... can you picture my problem yet? the whole location of the wart and everything, makes it all awkward when they don't want to touch you, so they try, and well you know, slyly go for the other hand, trying to fake like they thought you were left handed or something(almost punching you in the face).... ya ya when that happens. what was i talking about again? ri right lets get to week 2
THE BURNING!
So me and my partner in crime got together, we inspected the large rump on my knuckle(can i say rump?) Not being careful (well slightly) we decided to wart remover it. of course it went all white and crumbly, but then very very red and scary! heck id be angry too if someone tried to burn me out of their life (ahem stupid old BF), anyways anyways, not only did we burn him but we burnt all the skin around him. ' Give it a week, I'm sure it will be gone, and if not we'll burn it again'.... 'um ok eeeek blooody hurts', i thought in my head.
I GIVE IT A NAME!
By the time another week has passed, i have gone out and bought a new pair of leather gloves, its cold outside, im sick of Rachel mocking me about my pink leather gloves(she calls them gardening gloves), Audrey Hepburn never looses her style...
It must be human, it must be my twin, i burned it, picked it off, duct taped it, and it grew and grew and grew.
I keep getting comments like 'hey are you gonna name that thing?' You betchya its got a name!
"Watson the Wart"
....i tried to kill Watson last night again... :( one day i will succeed.
