When My Scars Follow Me to the Salon

I can't remember whether or not I was getting my eyebrows waxed or

my vagina waxed that day, just that the esthetician noticed the scars peeking out from beneath the hem of my shorts. "What are those from?" she asked me. "Oh," came my reply, "They're just from a long time ago."--


A line I had rehearsed

in anticipation of moments like this.

Despite the brutal awkwardness

of the conversation, I've gotta say she really is great

at waxing eyebrows (and vaginas).
