You calling me Ugly??? I don't think you have even met me!!!

One time a little girl came up to me and told me I was really UGLY! What a TERRIBLE thing to say!
Don't know what caused her to do that, but it sure has bothered me to this day. I told her "My WIFE doesn't think so!". She didn't have an answer for that.

there is a notion called "zero sum": +2 looks results in -2 brains so everybody ends up equal. It is a false notion, but it is the root of the notion that blondes and jocks are inherently stupid.

I'm guessing that since they're ugly they spend more time alone and are more introverted, spend much more time reading and in thought.

Maybe she did it on a dare, or someone lied to her and told her that 'ugly' meant something else. It's sure nothing to be bothered over. It's not like she accused you of not being able to solder worth a damn.
