I know I'm not an ordinary (普通的) ten-year-old kid. I mean,sure,I do ordinary things. I eat ice cream. I ride my bike. I play ball. Things like that make me ordinary,I guess. And I feel ordinary,inside. But I know ordinary kids don't make other ordinary kids run away crying. I know ordinary kids don't get stared at wherever they go.

    If I could have one wish,I would wish that I had a normal face that no one ever noticed at all. I would wish that I could walk down the street without people seeing me and then looking away in a strange way.

    I'm used to people's response (反應(yīng)) now. I know how to pretend I don't see the faces people make. Mom and Dad are also used to that kind of thing. However,Kate,my sister,can't stand it. She can get really angry when people do something rude. For example,one time in the playground some older kids made some noises when they saw me. Kate heard the noises and just started shouting at the kids. Kate doesn't think I am ordinary. She says she does,but if I were ordinary,she wouldn't feel like she needs to protect me as much. And Mom and Dad don't think I am ordinary,either. I think the only person in the world that realizes how ordinary I am is me.

    My name is August,by the way. I was born with a facial deformity (面部崎形) .I only want to be treated as an ordinary kid. I won't describe what I look like. It's probably worse than what you can imagine.

Now,there are many guys who wear earrings and I once found one guy with two earrings in the same ear. Some guys even have rings on their noses.

Getting earrings was the furthest thing from my mind. I never like the idea and strongly believe that the rings on the noses are too bad. Some of my friends share (分享) the views with me and they think these guys are crazy to do it.

However,to a growing number of people,it's not a big problem,and they say men today could wear anything they want. That's none of our business!Tony doesn't have a problem with it. For him,guys with earrings are quite welcome. He insists (堅(jiān)持) that an earring attracts attention and it would stand out especially if worn by men. He asked,why shouldn't men be allowed to wear one? There are men who can carry them really well. For years,each of his friends slowly got an earring one by one. He joked that he would have a piercing on his body that doesn't show,so none could comment on that one!
