I am not female, and to my knowledge only my wife thinks I'm cute. However,
I could be pretty. During my first job, I relayed a concern I had about a
project to my supervisor. Her was response was that I shouldn't "worry my
pretty little head" about it.
Hmmmm.....
Anyway, I have not seen her for many years, so I will worry my pretty
little head about other things : )
Cheers.
