Odd.
After an early morning of sweltering humidity that made my curly hair straight in about 10 minutes (and no, I’m not exaggerating), I pulled into the gas station somewhere between Surf Camp and Visitation. I was sticky and rushed and flustered. I grabbed a pack of bottled waters from the cooler and dropped them on the counter. The attendant looked me up head to toe and said,
“Well honey…I’d just give my right tittie to have hair as purty as yours.”
5 days later I’m still trying to decide what just to say to something like that.

Only in the south.
Can’t think of a thing to say in return ‘cept “Well, um, thanks….I think.”

That’s like the Alabama plumber customer of mine who told me he wanted to “lick my teeth.” Uh, okay??????

People never cease to amaze me. I think, once comprehension dawned on me, I’d have laugh out loud.
You do have beautiful hair. It’s just a great color as well as being nice and thick.

Next time ask, “Why the right instead of the left?”
