[Covering face with my hands, and shaking head] Why mom, why did you let me get that ridiculous perm?!!!!!! I know it was the eighties, and I know I said I wanted it, but you knew I didn't really!!! Sigh, having a strong opinion at the age of ten about anything, especially your hair, is just asking for a world of hurt 20 years later when you have to own it. I blame my skewed vision of good hair on "The Facts of Life", my first (mom inflicted) Dorthy Hamill hair cut at the age of five, and Heather, in that order.
It's even worse when your younger sisters were perpetually cute as buttons at all phases of development. I still love you, though. A lot. I guess someone had to pave the way and make bad hair choices, so you could make the right ones. So, you're welcome. (I feel like I've been saying that on here a lot lately.)
How did your hair get that frizzy? Did you have a special product? I saw Dorothy Hamil ice skate this Fall. She still had the same haircut with a modern flair! Where are we? Grandma's house? Which room?
We are in London, in the front room of our flat. As for my hair, refer to my first comment...the part about the really bad perm, acquired in some friends house in Syracuse prior to leaving the country. Apparently I thought it would be a very European move, and apparently I was right just look at Kylie Minogue in 1988. I was right in all the wrong ways.
Oh, I don't remember any details of the London flat... No worries Em. I could find some pics of a bad perm I received. I remember feeling in a panic when Grandma Unsicker permed my hair in the kitchen sink of the Cottage on the Lake in Tully. It was when Mary was born in 1990. I must have admired your amazing perm and wanted my own!
Sorry to have lead you so terribly astray. I remember that now, you still looked cute. It would have been very difficult stop your cuteness. L and I agreed long ago that you were the cutest Jones baby. I think it was the cheek factor, and then there was the cheese factor, you could dish it.

ReplyDeleteWhat about M and P
ReplyDeleteYou too were adorable! M, we all know that you didn't need a perm!
ReplyDeleteAs for a pic, I didn't have one on my computer. It would be fun to post the one of you in back of dad's car and P in the drawer on Cobblestone.
