The Very Ugly Duckling

One day an ugly duckling was born. However its mother assured it that that meant it would become a beautiful swan just like the ugly duckling before it.

This was not the case.

Instead, when the ugly duckling hit puberty it erupted in horrible pus filled acne that made it look like a welted red, ugly, duck shaped, pus-spewing, sin against god.

The moral of the story is that if you are that ugly, don’t wait for it to just disappear, use conditioner and please wash your face every day.

Thank you.
