A while back my mom told me a story about how she's always had big gums and kids in school used to call her "the gummer" and so she was always afraid to smile. :-) That’s classic.

I was very touched by what you wrote and empathize completely. Even more so surprised to find something worth reading on the internet (oops, cynicism slipped out) We often wish to break from our own self-perceived limitations and aspire to be like others. But in turn, we sometimes wish people would reciprocate, understand, and absorb our strengths. All we can hope for is friends that know our vulnerabilties, occasionally help us challenge ourselves, help us cry (not "make" us cry) and make us smile. Thanks for the wonderful writing. ...and now back into the ether... Friend of the Bootcuts here. I was very touched by what you wrote and empathize completely.

I quit smiling in school photos that year as I tried to keep my mouth shut and my lower lip pulled in. (Now, of course, people pay good money for fuller lips.)

I can see forever in them, and they actively make me want to be a better person. From gums to teeth to lips, when your face breaks open into mirth, glee, or absolute joy, I see all of your levity and all of your seriousness merge into one delightful, perfect feathery paradigm. Your reflection and affirmation here confirm what I've known for years: you're aware, and you're amazing. I am deeply, hopelessly in love with your gums.
