Interesting day.  Went with my youngest daughter on a field trip to the Perkins Observatory at Ohio Weslyian (sp) University.  It was really neat  and the tour guide was very entertaining.  For lunch we sat out on the lawn because it was such a nice day.  While we were eating lunch there was one boy sitting by himself.  He was odd man out because he couldn't come on the day his class was supposed to come, so he tagged along.  Anyway, he asked me who my kid was, I pointed her out and he asked why she didn't have red hair. lol.  So we talked about that for a minute.  Then he asked what the bumps on my face were from, if I had been in a really bad accident or something.   Funny.  so I told him about NF.  Usually I get embarrassed when people ask about them, but this was different.  The way he asked was just as natural as when he asked me about the hair color thing.  There wasn't an "eww gross" implied in his tone.  Anyway, just interesting.  But it does kinda bother me that I just can't ever get away from the NF.  It will always make me different.  This kid will be back with his class tomorrow and fit right in, but I will always be "odd person out".
