Arlo and Janis by Jimmy Johnson for October 04, 2024

Wouldn’t be an issue if your hair was longer

Could there ever be a right time?

Sorry, they do seem to get bigger the longer you’re walking around. From WebMD:

Noses and ears are made of cartilage, a flexible tissue that’s harder than skin but softer than bone. It wears down over time and doesn’t give as much support to the skin on top of it. Your skin also loses elasticity and firmness over time, and it tends to sag. Loose or sagging skin over a weaker cartilage frame makes ears and noses look longer.

Wrong explanation?

One of the perks of getting old is to have no care about our features. Soon enough they will get very much worse, but until then life goes on!

There are times when silence is golden! A kiss, a hug, etc will make her forget her ears, Bucko!

Not a safe reply. Arlo.

That was the perfect answer

It’s just one of them, the other is perfect.

all the more to nibble on

Still isn’t.

Say… what is the right size and what should we do if they aren’t that size? She’s lived her entire life so far with them.

They’re a distraction from her nose.

Slipping up and calling her Alfred wasn’t obvious enough?

“Does this hairdo make my ears look fat?” Argh! Another trap!

As you age, gravity causes the cartilage in your ears and nose to break down and sag. This results in droopier, longer features. Studies have estimated that ears lengthen at a rate of about .22 millimeters per year. The growth appears in men and women, so it’s just one of the many universal joys of getting older.

Too big? Why honey, they are beautiful, more to nibble on (then follow through).

He doesn’t look at her ears!

Been a week of minefields for Arlo and he’s managed to avoid stepping on any.

Ears, what ears

No point in borrowing trouble.

my view every time I get a hair cut…

Arlo might have told her about her ears had Janis ever asked…"Does this dress make my ears look big?’’

Her hair covered her ears most of the time and even if he did notice, why in the world would he say anything about it. Doing so would only hurt her feelings.

He could tell her that although her ears are longer and her breasts are sagging, at least the hem of her skirt is rising away from the floor…

Stella Kidd in Chicago Fire has substantial ears, and she is cute as all heck!

I read something long ago that said something like:

Men look in the mirror at themselves and think “Not bad…”

Women look in the mirror and only find flaws….

If he cares to stay married, he will not mention it again.

LBJ had quite a set of ears on him.

Now, I think that I understand why the early presidents wore wigs.

About graying: Gray hair makes a man look extinguished.

Too big for what?

“I never look at your ears. I’m still taking in everything else.”

It still takes two of her ears to match his nose.

I didn’t think you’d want to hear that.

Really mess with her and point out that they get bigger as you get older.

Your ears are just fine.

Who’s looking at your ears, when I can get lost in your eyes?

Don’t have mirrors in my house cept for bathroom & hand mirror. Saves a lot of time.

Timing is everything.

“Never” is the right time.

Your ears are so small you didn’t hear me tell you I love your ears.

They’re attached to you and I don’t see anything that needs improvement or changing.

Your ears aren’t too big, your head is too small.

Now replace “ears” with “boobs” and see what he says.

wrong answer, Arlo

One of mine is longer than the other, never noticed until a few months ago; now it bothers even more than Stephen Colbert’s

As Sheldon Cooper would say," Your hair is different. I don’t like it. Change it back," I tried for three days, but I don’t like it. Change it back.

I wonder if Arlo will be here tomorrow??

Why would someone tell someone he loved, that her ears are too big? For what? Has she ever told him his nose is too big??

Arlo, I hope she believes you when you say you were just trying to be funny.

Why would she suddenly notice her ears? Her hair color may be different, but it is the exact same style.

They were always covered by your hair, and they didn’t matter.

But big-eared bunnies and puppies are cute!

Uh oh! NOT the right answer. Shoulda said, “All the better to hear me with!”

Some things are best left not being said, the couch isn’t a nice sleep.

I’ve never noticed older women’s ears being big, probably because they are usually covered by their hair. Tragically, older men tend to run out of hair to hide their growing imperfections, and the hair growing out of their ears and noses only makes it so much worse. Bushy beards and caps with ear flaps are our only defenses, and they are poor ones indeed.

Mine only look big after the cut, then they go back to normal size
