"I got a washed out version of Momâ€™s curls and a better copy of Dadâ€™s blue eyes, The rest of me, I guess, is up for grabs. Except maybe Granâ€™s nose, but she could have been trying to make me feel better. Iâ€™m no prize. Most girls go through a gawky stage, but Iâ€™m beginning to think mine will be a lifelong thing. It doesnâ€™t bother me too much. Better to be strong than pretty and useless. Iâ€™ll take a plain girl with her head screwed on right over a cheerleader any day."
