mirror mirror on the wall, tell me the truth or none at all
“Fascinating. I’ve never seen such a contraption before from where we come from. Perhaps humans think it is wise to have mirrors that could magnify anything to epic proportions,” AL said to IEN as he examined the mirror that was found hidden in one of the broken human houses.A single line of crack could be seen starting from the edge of the round mirror down to its handle but otherwise, the mirror seemed to be in good condition.
"Oh my! IEN, check this out!" AL exclaimed as he pulled IEN beside him.
"Look! If I were to hold the mirror this way, our faces look normal does it not? Now, when I flip it over..."
"HOLY CRAP! IEN! What is that thing on you face?! It looks god awful," Al stated as he turned around to IEN and tip-toed to get a better view of what, he mentally deemed, as a volcana that was waiting to explode, leaving behind a huge crater.
Irritated with his friend's lack of tact, IEN slapped AL's fingers away.
Through gritted teeth, he replied, "That my friend, is what humans would call a zit."
With that, IEN stormed off to the other side of the house.
The first thing that crossed my mind when I saw that mirror was, “Good god!! I can count my pores! This is horrible!”
The mirror tells no lies and hides no flaws. It has been sworn to show what you don’t want to see and not what you want to see. The mirror is a tool that will make your otherwise perfect reality into a living nightmare. Can you believe the nerve of this mirror?! Making me put myself down and feel all worked up over something that may have been blown out of proportion due to some factory manufacturing mistake during production.
“It’s a magnifying glass mirror you moron,” my voice of reason said with a hint of annoyance. Alright, so it was not a factory error. My bad.
Ok, so maybe I might have over exaggerated that part and left out that small insignificant detail about the mirror being two sided with different lenses but it WAS insignificant so I did not really register it in my mind. Notwithstanding the fact that in the product description, it was mentioned about the mirror being two sided with two different lenses.
Anyway, despite that small hiccup in our IKEA shopping trip, my sister and I decided to invest 20 bucks on the mirror (among many other junks that was really not necessary but were deemed necessary at that point in time) that would be the only thing in our life, for many years to come, to be honest with us and something that we can put our full trust in.
Hey, if humans can’t be trusted, always sugar-coating the truth and majority of the time telling you what you want to hear, it means that they are spouting lies cause seriously, the chances of your friends telling you the truth is pretty much like your mom giving you the green lights to go clubbing (which is very small). The reason behind it is simple really. They do not want to hurt your feelings. Bleagh!
So anyway, your back plan when a situation, such as above, arises, it’s time to go IKEA and get that mirror baby. They are reliable, provide perfect and clear view of anything and best of all,
IT DOESN'T SPEAK!
