He used to have a nose but it scared kids so they got rid of it.

lol didn't they make a book where he had plastic surgery? Like legit plastic surgery. I think it was called Arthur's nose.

Oh, my. I just looked that up and here is a quote: “In Arthur's Nose, first grader Arthur decides that he doesn't like his nose. He goes to the rhinologist to change it, but ultimately decides, to the relief of his friends and family, "I'm just not me without my nose!"” So he did not actually have the plastic surgery but the creepy thing is that his parents would take him to get it, a FIRST grader. You can not make decisions like that on a first graders whim! People change their minds all the time! Jeez...

No...it's not

sorry for not being specific enough. They're not technically the same thing, but if you show someone an aardvark and ask what it is, 9/10 people will say "anteater"
