While being average is nothing to be ashamed of, I’d hardly consider it a goal to pursue. Would you be content being of average intelligence? Average looks? Average happiness? In many cases, the average is no great shakes in the first place. Unless you’re starting from below average, reach for something higher…
However, to the extent that being “average” carries the same meaning as being “normal,” Agnes is probably a lost cause anyway. And the rest of us are all the happier because of it…
(Strictly speaking, I think “average” was used as a noun before it became an adjective anyway…)

I think it’s a marshmallow.
You’ve heard of Agnes of God . She’s Agnes of Odd.
