When I am five, I wear cat-eyed, horn-rimmed glasses. My long brown hair hangs stringy around my chubby cheeks. My mother says, \"Don't be ugly,\" when I start to get whiney3 or am tempted to be bad. But I am ugly because I am called ugly names. Ugly. Motor-mouth4. Stupid. Four-eyes. I run around the playground with the names echoing through my head. I climb onto the monkey bars, reaching to pull myself up high. Four-eyes. I hate my glasses. My glasses are ugly. I have to wear glasses like my brother. My brother is ugly, too. We are ugly and we live in an ugly house. Everything is ugly.
