Stylistic Parody

My Families Noses


 Everybody in my family has a different nose. My dads nose, as my mother used to say, reminds her of one of a hawk. Triangular, long and sharp. My mothers nose is wide and rounded. It captures her ethnic background. My sisters nose is small and petite. So misplaced from the rest of ours.

 But my nose, my nose, a perfect mix of both my parents, my bridge long and straight but wide and rounded at the tip, the underside upturned proudly showing off my German and Indian decent. Out of all the possible noses I could have received, mine completes my face like the last piece of a puzzle.
