There is no way to admit to this to make me look like less of a dork, so I will just come out and say it. I cut my lip last night. With what, you may ask? A razor. Seriously.
No, I am not a man. Let me give you a little background information. I have a medical condition called Poly-Cystic Ovarian Syndrome (PCOS). Besides PCOS giving me the opportunity to get fatter by the day, darking skin, and infertility, I have the honor of facial hair. No, not the baby fine hair most women have. I am talking about full on thick granny whiskers. Nice. Thankfully it isn't a full on beard.
So, back to the story. Last night I noticed a few granny hairs on my upper lip. I was tired and didn't fell like plucking, so I picked up my leg shaver. Now, I am not a novice, I have done this many times and NEVER managed to cut myself. Well, until last night.
While, it is just a nick, it hurt like crazy and wouldn't stop bleeding. I went to bed with a band-aid on my lip. It was still bleeding this morning. When I got to school, it had thankfully stopped. As I had to talk/teach all day, it kept starting to bleed again.
On the way home from school, I took a picture, see below.
So, this picture does not do it justice. Seriously, I should have a crater on my face for the pain this caused.
I had to come up with an excuse for the people at school. Imagine telling 125 sixth graders you cut you lip shaving? Not. Going. To. Happen. So, I had to come up with a cover story. It had to be believable, at least by sixth graders. My cat did it. Yeah, that is the ticket. After all, didn't the dog eat their homework?

| Yeah, not a flattering pic. Notice the red bump above my lip. |
