Big Ears

[jennyjoan]

Do any of you know that your ears get bigger looking as you age. Very much so.

[Mamyalynne]

They do JJ.

I won't let it worry me.

[jennyjoan]

sorry, when Rita from Corrie was lying in bed with bandages over her head I noticed her lobes were touching her shoulders. That's another thing we have to look forward to - Rabbit Ears.

[jennyjoan]

No wonder my mother used to say "Small Ears are the Sign of Beauty" and so they are.

Couldn't read that link Mamy LOL

[youngmafbog]

Charlie boy (aka jug ears) is in for a big problem then !

[douglas9401]

They do, the nose too apparently. I'm reminded of Lugs Wogan. :-)

[jennyjoan]

I do have a few friends who haven't aged well and they do NOT see the wrinkles or the big ears. They deem themselves very attractive - NOT to me.

[jennyjoan]

Naomi - I am not letting it worry me either - just a comment.

[jennyjoan]

Err - didn't know who Charlie boy was - but do know who you mean now but ahm - he always did have big ears even as a kiddie.

[Mamyalynne]

Sorry, works fine here.

[jennyjoan]

Was Lugs Wogan - Terry Wogan.

I keep looking at my ears all the time LOl - as if they are not bad enough with a hearing aid in them.

[jennyjoan]

No Mamy - link works ok - just didn't want to come to terms with the article LOL

I hate my ears. I don't know if they've grown as I've got older, but I can't wear earrings now as they draw attention to my huge lobes. I want to have them chopped off, but that might be vanity gone a bit too far.

[aelmpvw]

this must be very worrying for elephants

[mallyh]

my ears are bigger but i just wear bigger hoops and i'm looking for a friend called noddy x

[1ozzy]

Is it because as you age you have less hair to hide your ears?

[waterboatman]

Q. Why do elephants have big ears?

A. Because Noddy wouldn't pay the ransom.


I'll get me coat

[andres]

Maybe they are more noticeable because our skull bones shrink as we get older.

[douglas9401]

They grow as hearing fades with age. Wouldn't want to miss all the good chat now would we. :-)

[jennyjoan]

"hearing fades with age" - i must be a 100 now with my hearing loss. I only hear about 10 to 20 per cent even at that low bass sounds. Depend so much on lip reading but that can be hard to do. When I visit anybody at night (very rarely) I say to them to put their light on so I can hear (now isn't that an Irish one)
