Freckles

When I was a teenager a little black girl approached me looking very confused.
Little Girl: "Are you brown with white spots or white with brown spots?"
Red: "I'm white with red spots."
She had never seen someone with freckles before and I have a LOT of them.

  2. To say you have a lot of freckles is like saying that Bill Gates has a lot of money. Personally, I love freckles. And no I don't have any.

  5. A befreckled friend of mine is serving in Afghanistan. She told me that when she visits the orphanages her freckles are a source of incredible fascination to the kids -- even more than the chocolate she always brings :).

    Jeremy: Never been a fan of my freckles but as I've gotten older we've become friends.
    Keith: They are already connected since there are so many.
    Kassy: Too many for me to love them all. I am hoping for them to all connect like one big freckle.
    Creole: She was cute.
    Allan: I've had people ask to touch my arm. They thought my skin might feel different since its freckled. Some are so compelled they just go into a zone rub my arm and then apologize for touching me. It's rather funny.
    Kilgorsky: I can still see her and the curiosity in her eyes.
