Five Small Ironies of the Day
Current style and behavior contrasted with the way we were.
- People who lose their hearing are ashamed of wearing hearing aids, but people who listen to cell phones all the time are not embarrassed to be seen with a similar mechanism in their ear.
- People who take their teeth out at night try to keep it a secret, but women who take their fingernails off at night flaunt them all day long.
- Once, bald men covered their pates with toupees or hair combed over; now they shave their heads entirely.
- Once, teenagers who had braces on their teeth would suffer such nicknames as “metal mouth”; now teens voluntarily attach metal to their lips and tongues.
- Once, people were uncomfortable about watching too much TV; now they’re proud: it shows they’ve overcome the pull of the PC.
