Grooming My Gross Face

Date: 12/1/2022

My family from New Year is back in town (not actually) and we’re all in a house together. We’re celebrating someone’s birthday (possibly mine). I go into the bathroom to check the mirror. I have a bunch of stubbles along my cheekbones (like Blane usually gets in real life). I worry that someone may have noticed them since they’re so dark. I search around for a pair of tweezers to pluck them. My mom and Grammie both join me in the bathroom like it’s a public restroom with multiple stalls. I continue looking in the mirror and find a black head in the middle of my left cheek. I go to squeeze it, and thick, solid puss comes out in a big spiral. It’s so gross, but also so awesome to squeeze out. It’s still sticking out of my face, so I go to pull the rest of it out. My mom comments “Wow! That was a long one!” I wonder if Grammie finds this all weird and gross.
