The other day it was hot and I hadn’t washed my hair. I piled it on top of my head and went off to work. A regular remarks,

“Your hair is up.”

“Yeah.”

“Is something wrong?”

“No. I didn’t wash it.”

“You look very Victorian.”

“Thank you?”

“It’s a compliment.”

“Thank you.”

Several glasses of wine later it is clear that the regular is a little tipsy. When she’s tipsy she gets a little feisty. She stands up to leave. She points her finger at me and shouts,

“JESSICA!”

“Yes?!”

“Take CHARGE of your hair.”
