It was bound to happen...

... but at least it was a friend.

Met up yesterday with two of my dear friends. (really I luv these girls).
So we meet for drinks. I'm a little tardy for the party (shout out to RHWA) and when I get there they starting gushing about the hair.

I'm thinking to myself. "YAY! they like it. I'm not ugly, hip hip!!"

So I hardly get to take my coat off and then it happens...

"OMG CAN I TOUCH IT!" (she probably didn't say omg but it makes for a better story)

So I'm thinking...sh*t what to do... these are my friends I can't very well say NO. And proceed to explain that Black girls generally don't like their hair touched. (and here I'm thinking I jus felt like that whenever I had tracks) but NO it's just sorta a general rule of thumb.

But I smile and say 'uh-uh-i guess so-sure??'

So she gingerly touches and says "how cool!!!" But she jus touched the surface. I looked at her and said. "Well if you gonna go through all that you might as well really touch it. Dig in. Go a head dig in deep" I mean it was only fair. how often is she really gonna get to touch a kinky fro.

Now that we got that over with it was time for margaritas :-)
