Mom in High Heels Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 Indy and I went to Ramstein yesterday and there was a lady there with BIG, BIG hair (it was almost gravity defying) and he asked me how women got their hair so big. I told him they teased it to make it high, kind of like I sometimes do on the back of mine to get a little lift (not big or puffy, just not so flat). The lady in front of me in the checkout line turned around and said that with all the bullying going on in schools and so many kids committing suicide I shouldn't use the word "tease," but rather "back comb." WHAT? I blinked at her and then assured her that if my hair ever became suicidal over the teasing I'd have a nice long talk with it and assure it I really loved it. She harump'd and looked at me like I was the crazy one before turning back around muttering something under her breath. When she was gone, Indy leaned over and said "That lady was nuts!" Indeed.

IsabelC Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 If only the solution to all bullying were as simple as eschewing the word tease. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

QuirkyKidAcademy Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 Politically correct speech for hair. I'm so behind the times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hsbaby Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 At least you had a good comeback! I think I would have been too thrown by her ridiculous comment to think of anything! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starr Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 We just need to promote more back combing and the world will be a better place. :D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elegantlion Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 We just need to promote more back combing and the world will be a better place. :D But back combing sounds too much like back talking, which we can have none of, so that negates the use of that term. We could say "uplift through the use of a follicle untangling device", that is much more PC. :tongue_smilie: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I.Dup. Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 LOL!!! I agree, at least you had a good comment. :lol: She should know better than to butt into people's conversations that are none of her business with a rude comment. :confused: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
merry gardens Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 :lol: I love the title of this thread! What with all the bullying going on in schools, she may also think that we shouldn't "beat" eggs, "whip" cream, "hang" clothes, "shoot" the breeze, or do dozens of other harmless activities. She should support homeschooling since it helps protect children from bullying, (as long as their mothers don't tease.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
