Dumb Question

Trey's hair hasn't been cut for about 3 months and is starting to get curly. I love it. Anyhoo, a lady in an elevator asked me the other day if Trey's hair was naturally curly. I had to bite my tongue.

My gut reaction was to say, "No, it's naturally straight. Every morning I get the curling iron out and curl my 4 YEAR-OLD BOY'S hair. Except for when I put it in curlers the night before."

Hmm, maybe she doesn't like silent elevators and just asked the first question that came to her mind. But really, what would be the alternative if his hair isn't naturally curly? Curlers or curling irons. On my four year-old boy. And what are the odds of that? Pretty dang low, one would hope. So anyway, I kept my sarcastic remark to myself. I simply said, "why, yes it is."

Maybe she was wondering if it's a perm!

maybe you use that magic curling shampoo and then diffuse it and scrunch?

Hilarious! I TOTALLY know how you feel! People ask me all the time if my daughter's hair is naturally curly! Seriously??? I think I stump them mainly because mine is so not anything like hers:) I wish it was!
