"You are just cute as a button!"
I hate this. I don't really know why but I do. I know there are worse things than being called cute but... I just equate this particular compliment to something you'd say to a five year old. So it feels a bit backhanded every time I hear it. And I hear it all the time.
Damn cheeks and cheery attitude.
Another reason behind the hate that comes from hearing this phrase is that most of the time all people see is the cuteness which puts me in an awkward position when I really want to drop an f-bomb. I always hesitate before showing people the side of me that has a dirty mouth & occasional dirty mind (I'm sorry but crass jokes are hilarious jokes. Bottom line). I'm not sure how they'll take hearing such unladylike language coming from this cute little button.
Sigh.
Maybe I'll just get a fat tattoo on my face. We'll see who's cute then! Not me!
