Around School H ere is a breakdown of many of the different types of eyebrows commonly found in people today: e 180°: ese are perfectly straight and best complement an oval face. (According to Look-fabulous.com's article entitled "Eyebrow Shapes to Suit your Face.") Pierced: A fashion statement/expressive body art for alternative people. Brown Brows/Blonde Hair: Also known as the "Cara Delevingne." High Arch: ese give the appearance of almost constant surprise. (e kid in that movie has them. He has blond hair. Jennifer Aniston was in that movie with him. What's his name? You know who I'm talking about.) Unibrow: Where one's eyebrows meet in the middle above the one's nose, appearing as a single entity. Also known as a "Monobrow." On Fleek: A catch-all term used to describe eyebrows that have been perfectly tailored, groomed and shaped for a night on the town. Where do my eyebrows stand? Probably around a "Eugene Levy." I don't remember a time when I went from having eyebrows to having large eyebrows. It kind of just happened some time in the past, and now they sit atop my face entering rooms before I do. I don't suppose they were always like they are now, which is to say pretty big, but they were never small. I mean, when I look at pictures of my preadolescent self, they seem to be around average size, but I don't fashion myself an expert on young boys' eyebrows…yet. Actually no. "Children's eyebrow connoisseur" is not really my desired profession, but who knows where the future will take me. I guess I first realized my eyebrows would be my most, let's say defining, physical characteristic sometime around the third grade. I was sitting next to Spencer Singer at our small round tables in our bright classroom with the English and Hebrew alphabets in print and cursive lining the walls. Spencer was telling me how big my eyebrows were and how, "Oh my God, they're growing right now. I can see it!" I was visibly upset and I definitely cried, most likely very loudly. What the hell, Spencer? You have glasses. And allergies, I probably thought. But it was okay because God got him back for me. Later in the year I brought in kumquats as a snack for everyone from my My Story Around School Calling all Roman writers!
