Average Fat People, and Normally Abnormal Friends
Today we live in an era in which the supposed-to-be-consistent values are becoming inconsistent. In our eyes, fat people are fat, normal people are normal. There is just no other way to say it. However, as more and more people are becoming fat, overweight people are outnumbering average people. And if you are grading on a curve, then overweight people, or what we knew as overweight people, are now average people. See what I mean, our moral principals of life are becoming mixed up in front of our very eyes!
However, before you come to any unnecessary conclusions, I have yet to give you one more example. In our little circle of friends, the summer happiness has taken over, and we are using our imaginations more than we used to. The result--random passages of random, unnecessary but funny text. Now, since more people are writing abnormally than normally, the normal thing has become abnormal. Now they are the exact same thing! But, what do we call what we used to call normal?!?! ...

Interesting thoughts, so I guess... since we were all abnormal(character) and normal(not overweight), and now(if) you are grading on a curve, then we have become normal(character) and abnormal(not overweight)... Our "profile" has flipped...

DeleteGrace how did you get that to separate into paragraphs? When I wrote mine it was separated but when I posted it wasn't.
