Are you there God? It's me, Liz

Did you all read the coming of age book by Judy Blume when you were just entering middle school? You know the one where she prays to God about getting bigger boobs and asks things like, gee willikers, when will I ever get my period?

Well, today as a grown ass woman, I want to ask God, why are we all growing things?!? Skin tabs, fatty cysts, I feel like a freaking science experiment over here. I had a thumb nail sized cyst removed from the back of my neck last week. I have had 5 people ask me if it had hair or teeth. Christ Almighty!! No! Who the hell is having things removed that are growing hair and teeth in their body? But it must be common enough. More often then not, when talking with people recently, I have learned that they too have had something removed.

I’ve heard of a cyst from their scalp, back, arms, wrist, and palm. Then there’s the skin tabs located near the eye, on the neck or the armpits.

I gotta tell you, I am a massage therapist, and have seen it all, but those little buggers are the worst! I am always afraid one is going to rip off when I am working my magic on the poor unsuspecting client.

And so I ask, where the hell is this stuff coming from? Seriously, why are our bodies developing these things? The only thing I want growing on me at this point in my life is my hair and nails. My OWN hair and nails thank you very much, not my little twin’s that could quite possibly be growing in my thigh as we speak….
