lopsided...

gettin' ready to bleach yo yo's hair and i'm
thinking about what it'd be like to have girls....

i cut yo's hair last week. he told me last nite that
he thinks it's lopsided.

big grin here.

and yeah, it was.

can you imagine if that was my daughter??
it wouldn't have taken a week for me to hear!

he said at first he thought he slept on it wrong,
then showered it funny.......i'm laughing as i type
this......he had all kindsa theories.
then finally decided, nope, it's lopsided.

so. i'm cuttin' josh's hair this morning. i holler
down to yo. 'want me to fix your hair?'
he hesitates.
'do you think it needs it??'

i can't believe it. i guess lopsided isn't that big
of a deal.

and as i cut his hair i joked with him about the
bumps on his head and his skull bein' lopsided.

somehow i don't think that'd go over too well
if he was my daughter.

she'd carry around an issue of a lopsided skull for life!

and as i thought of that, i grinned.
i have never gotten over the lady measurin' my head for
our high school graduation caps commenting on what a big
head i have!

oh man.
i'm laughin' just thinking of that.
ever since that moment, i've been convinced my head is
huger than huge.

there's a lesson in here somewhere for me, isn't there?

lighten up, ter, it could be worse. she coulda said 'wow
what a HUGE LOPSIDED head you have!'

it's all just a game, isn't it?
lighten up, ter, lighten up.

i feel the same about having girls.. 17 complaining that i was a freak of a mom who embarrassed her by the way i dressed ... LOL.. and i think about it deeper . on the feeling level . that perhaps having boys helps to buffer some of the questioning . us thinking chicas . you know . well . we can kinda perseverate.. :) and somehow i thought with my boys . its what seeps in that counts . that they have an easier time deflecting . not that they are not feeling . i tend to think they are feeling it differently . from a male's perspective . but that . they absorb the delight in being a female somehow..

well . who knows if i make sense
