Dear Abby Beauty beyong birthmark is what girl’s mother sees

DEAR ABBY: I have a 6-year-old daughter. She is a beautiful child. “Angie” has long blond hair and beautiful sky-blue eyes. She was born with a brownish birthmark over one eye and down her cheek. I do not consider her “disfigured”; in fact, when I look at Angie, I don’t even see the birthmark. I find it very distressing when people react to the birthmark instead of to the person. Strangers will grab Angie’s chin and turn her face, asking, “What’s wrong with your face?” Abby, there is nothing wrong with her face. She is beautiful, and we have taught her that God gave her this birthmark to draw attention to her beautiful blue eyes. It is too bad more people can’t look beyond the surface and see the person within. In this day of diets and plastic surgeries, we seem to have lost respect for nature and reality. Never have we considered any type of surgery to remove Angie’s birthmark. She is not harmed by it in any way. The harm is from wellmeaning people who want to “comfort” me and her. Any remarks about surgery to “fix” her face are demeaning to her, and telling me that she is not good enough the way she is. People should realize, it’s what’s on the inside not the outside that counts. I am sure you understand; A LOVING MOTHER DEAR MOTHER: I do understand, and I know how you feel, but Angie’s feelings must be

Jazz up lunches Q. We’re halfway through the school year and my children are becoming bored with eating the same old things for lunch. Do you have any ideas that would jazz up lunch a little? Beth, Atlanta, Ga. A. Here are a few things you might want to try. • Instead of bread, use two frozen waffles. Toast them until they’re light brown, let cool and fill with peanut butter and jelly. • Many children enjoy raw vegetables and dip. Wrap cauliflower, carrot sticks, broccoli, etc. in a damp paper towel and place in a plastic bag. To keep the dip cool, place it in a small thermos or plastic yogurt cup. • Instead of a sandwich, pack bite-size chunks of turkey and cheese for finger food. • Make pasta salad using fun-shaped noodles. My favorites are the ones shaped like the state of Texas. School lunches don’t have to be limited to a sandwich and snack. Think about the things your children like and be creative. Heloise NYLON-NET SCRUBBER Dear Heloise: Did you know that nylon net makes a great baked-potato scrubber? Jean Kennedy, Beltsville, Md. Sure did, but thanks for reminding us. Heloise STUCK CAKE Dear Heloise: Yesterday I was going crazy trying to remove a cooled cake from the pan. No matter what 1 tried, it refused to come out in one piece. (The middle seemed to be stuck to the pan with glue!) I called my neighbor and she suggested putting the pan back into the warm oven for a couple of minutes. When the pan was warm, 1 removed it and tried again. The cake popped right out of the pan. 1 just had to pass this on to others. Joanne, Omaha, Neb. CLOTHESPINS Dear Heloise: 1 love your column and read it every chance 1 get. Here is one of my hints. For chip bags, my husband has always used a clothespin instead of the chip clips they sell in the grocery store. If the bags are only half-full, we just cut off the excess, fold it over once and use the clothespin. Our chips are always fresh. R.T., Atascosa, Texas We do the very same, and we also use one on bread bags so we don’t have to hassle with that twist tie. Heloise SHELF LINERS Dear Heloise: I cut paper grocery bags open on one side and remove the bottom. Then 1 have a long piece of paper to line my cabinet shelves with. I can fold it to fit or overlap pieces as necessary. Linda Cook, Mt. Solon, Va. HANDY PHONE BOOK Dear Heloise: I saw the hint from a reader who got a new phone book ahead of time when moving to a new town. This is a great idea, but I would like to add another one take the old phone book too. I’ve needed numbers and even address several months after moving from my former residence. L. 8., New Orleans, La.

considered. No child wants to be “different,” and Angie’s birthmark makes her different and immediately conspicuous. Ask her if she would like to have her birthmark removed. A consultation with her teacher, the school nurse, her pediatrician or your clergyperson might be helpful. Please consider these suggestions, and be assured there are several options for making such birthmarks less conspicuous. * * * CONFIDENTIAL TO WOMEN OVER 60 WHO ARE SEEKING ROMANCE: Don’t set your sights on a guy with curls, Is my advice to the Medicare girls.
