Fleeing the Plantation

[Mister Obvious]

One time, the stepmother had a meltdown over a particularly nasty cold sore she had on her lip. She was sniveling because it marred her appearance. At age 65, when a woman should be well past being overly sensitive about her looks.

Lol, that's rough.

I actually know a few super elderly women with the whole mouth cold sore thing going on...

They stay self-conscious about it forever, apparently.

But I think it dismisses the belief that cold sores come from screwing around, cuz these old ladies were the married for 60 years types and I doubt they were sluttin' it up.

If old grannies have cold sores, then there's no reason for a stigma surrounding the whole thing and they just need to let it go.
