I was aware of it during my childhood, but as I got older less people mentioned it. Generally, in the U.K, people don’t run around pointing out how big your nose is. “Crikey! Your nose is huge!” is something I hadn’t heard since I was a kid. That was until I came to Japan, a country full of small nosed people who apparently think a big nose makes one more distinguished. Maybe so, but it still doesn’t feel right hearing people tell me how large my nose is… almost everyday!
I actually consider myself lucky because my brother’s nose makes mine look quite ordinary, but I’m not going to embarrass him by posting a photo here. Instead, I’m going to embarrass my son, Rikuto, by posting a picture of his nose. Before I do so, I want to lighten the mood with some of my favorite “big nose” jokes:
- Excuse me. Is that your nose or did a bus park on your face?
- Everybody take cover. He’s going to blow!
- Your nose was on time but you were fifteen minutes late.
- It must be wonderful to wake up in the morning and smell the coffee … in Brazil.
- Keep that guy away from my cocaine!
- Finally, a man who can satisfy two women at once.
So, the big question is, does Rikuto have a nose that will make his father proud? Judge for yourself…
his nose is normal. but those are some very chubby cheeks!:))
He is a cute baby! Ahh Nick you crack me up and that joke about cocaine is the best!
