Mom’s idea of a compliment during our Skype date….

“What’d you do to your hair? Get a perm?”  No, mom…

“Oh, so you do that yourself?”  Yes, mom…

“Those curlers aren’t drying your hair out, are they?”  No mom….

“Well, I like how it looks.”  Thanks, mom…

*As an afterthought, maybe I shouldn’t curl my hair before talking to mom next time.  Sigh…
