Great story, Lynn
. I really enjoyed it...
A random line that I really liked:
Dad had me practicing lighting bales of hay on fire with my eyes and then blowing them out with my breath. At least I came with my own built-in fire extinguisher.
'At least I came with my own built-in fire extinguisher.'
Awesome!
My sister and I had long hair growing up, but surprisingly, neither of us attempted this on ourselves--or each other
...but that's not to say there was a story in our house also:
My mother babysat two boys--one my age and one the same age as my little sister. Anyway, my little sister and the little boy had disappeared into her room for a little while, and when my mom went to check on them, she discovered that they were playing 'beauty shop'. Anyone remember 'rattails'? Well, when this little boy was dropped off at our house, he had one. He went home without
. When playing, my sister decided she just didn't like 'the look'. Yikes--his mother wasn't too happy (but boy, did that kid look better w/o it
)...
Loved the concept of the story. And great idea about having him practice with the wigs
