My grandfather told me I had dimples because when I was born, my parents called an indigenous woman to come to the hospital and rub raw dry peas into my cheeks to form the indentations. It was their choice to make me beautiful. I was never told where this woman came from. How did they find her? Is this a service she provided widely? How much did she charge? The point of the story, in any case, is that I had been created.
