Ten years of age-- Phys-Ed teacher tells me that I need to wear my skin like an elephant wears its skin. "What does an elephant's skin look like?"
I am asked. Grey,
wrinkled--
the first
(the only)
adjectives I can think of.
I am wrong,
apparently.
"Elephants have thick skin. You need to have a thicker skin."
(Doesn't he know the skin of an elephant remembers every heartbreak?)
