Cute As A Button

Oh I am so cute! Arrgh!

Just those terms irritates the hell outta me! How can a 29 year old still be cute? It’s totally absurd.

How do you define cute?

To most, it would mean it's size and that certain outlook. But why do some coin button as cute? What is so cute about a a device that is fastened on your clothes anyway?) Yeah buttons are small and tiny. So I guess you can link cuteness in it. Afterall most people preceive cuteness as something small and petite often round. (Ok I added the round part there to justify the shape of buttons). But to generalise all buttons as being cute is literally not correct too for I have seen some really ugly buttons but that is totally irrevelent to what I am writing today so I'll let it pass.

Can someone please tell me what's the first thing that comes to your mind when someone mention the word 'cute'? To most, it would mean it's size and that certain outlook.

According to Oxford Dictionary cute means: - ugly but adorable.

Yuck! I have a distinct impression that they are trying to coin cuteness with gremlins. Gremlins as we all know are cute cuddly creatures that look like a Pekingese before transforming into some hideous freak when comes in contact with water.

I’ve got an issue since the beginning of time. I am rather small (ok very small) in built and short and well lets’ say that most people who has met me would actually say that I look younger than my actual age. But does that make me cute?

Anyway, I've been coined as cute practically all my life. When I was a kid right up to now i have always known to be cute... Except for the brief moment in my adolecent years where I am also known as Her Royal Geek-ness but that's ok too for it was cool to be known as the intellectual then.

Ok back to the story... I remembered vividly when I was about 18 some friends of my mom came to visit. I had some college mates over too at the same time. Mom was upstairs and I had to open the door for her guest. Guess what they did? They took turns pinching my cheek (and there were all 4 grown women all together) and exclaimed “Ooooh, you are so cute….” And you don’t want to imagine the look on my mates faces.

They still torture me till this date.

The nerve-!

Their kids wil pay for it later... Or how I’d get heaps of fuzzy teddies and furry animals on my Birthday ( I still love you all who gave me that, afterall it's the thought that counts). But I don’t mind a couple of g-strings or so (no actually a cash voucher of RM1000 or an airplane ticket would be ideal ~ hint hint :P ), but teddy bears?

What for? I don’t have a child yet and even if I do by the time they are old enough to play with the toys their mother left them it’ll all be moth eaten. Ok back to the story…

Gosh just because I am small and don’t look my age it doesn’t make me look like a complete puppy. Puppies and kittens on the other had are cute. A baby is cute. But not a freaking 29 year old who is old enough to be someone’s mother! No…You do not term a person as cute when they are about to reach their 30s.

Gulp… Even my own man calls me cute and every time that happens I cringe.

Am I angry…?

I don’t' know... Perhaps you could bring me to the GP and have my blood pressure checked and then they'll be able to give you a more accurate reading. I guess if I am waiting for a compliment it would be gorgeous, hot or I don’t even mind beautiful.

But cute?!!!!

What the heck is cute?

It’s supposedly to be ACUTE ~ adj. an apethic (pathetic is more like it) form of acute. Or rather there is another one, cute means dainty or quaintly pleasing.

Gosh give me a break.

(Ok I am not angry, halfway gritting my teeth) It’s like having someone lift you up and so conveniently toggle you down again. At least Oxford is being more direct and less hypocritical. But...But...I don’t want to be cute (big eyes tearing with pouting lips).

Cute is ok when I you are 3. Not when you are in your LATE 20’s! Yes I’ve got an issue with that and I am aware that some of the people out there would give anything to be cute.

Trust me, guys are suckers for cute chicks. But think of it this way, would you still look cute when you are 80 and all wrinkly? Gosh I’ll be damn if a bloke would actually come up to me and tell me that I am still cute when I am 80. I reckon I’d most probably whacked him with my dentures and call him a pervert or something or I’ll bring him to the nearest optometrist and have his eyes checked or better still have him donate his perfectly good cornea to the blind.

The definition of cuteness has digressed beyond the norm. There is cute in attitude, cute in looks cute in basically any damn thing that is under the moon. Even a cow can be cute. It's all so overrated.

So instead I strongly suggest for gals out there who are trying to look cute even though you are not, I recommend you to think twice. Those who try or are still trying very hard to open their eyes wide to look helpless please I beg you to rethink because most people would just perceive you as either a weakling and who needs help or a retard who has lose eye sockets.
Some might disagree. After all which men out there would not actually jump to the slightest chance to help a damsel in distress?

Ooh I don' t know, you tell me. But for now, I am going to rouge my cheeks and put on a pouty quivering lips and walk down the streets like some Japanese (no pun intended - really) school girl and try to look all pure and innocent. But first, where the heck is my tartan chequered miniskirt. Damn.
