Indigo child! [England is evil 9]

“I am liking the English wimmins.”
“Yes indeed. I remember that you told me that.”
“Why?”
“Why did I remember?”
“No.”
“No?”
“Why you are not one?”
“Why am I not one what? A woman? I am a woman.”
“No.”
“English?”
“No!”
“No? Lets start again.”
“Why you are not being an English punk?”
“Er……I'm probably too old to be a punk.” Has he never seen an American punk?
“No.”
“Ah thank you dear.”

Sweet child of mine.
I think?

“No.”
“No what?”
“You are maybe not er…..um…..nevermind!”
“Nevermind! Really. Thank you luvvie.”

Ahh. Bless his little cotton socks. Tolerance personified.

“I am liking the English wimmins punks.”
“Oh good. I don't remember seeing any actually.”
“Look.”
“Look where?”
“There.”

He points! Ooo a lovely pointing finger in the direction of…..the horizon…..the path…..some people……..lots of people…..which people….little groups……..some old ladies……one with a blue rinse!

    Well, blue may be a good color for you. You’ll never know unless you try it. ; ) You’d be quite the trendsetter: mom or ‘wimmin’ punk. Something tells me that you’ll probably not request blue rinse at the beauty shop anytime too soon though.

    Did you take that picture? I guess if middle aged gals can be biker chicks, they can be punks. I would look seriously silly as either!

    You are such a gifted writer. I’m still in Malaysia, using the hotel business centre.

    Have a great week …. and do stay in touch.

    Oh! This had me in stitches! Especially since I’ve had blue hair…and red…and purple…

    Well, then it is a mighty good thing that you aren’t too old, isn’t it Dearie?

    Absolutely. Too. Much.

    Thank you for my laugh of the day!!

    Oh – and I am liking the English wimmins, too. You included. And here we tend to call our punks “goths.” Sort of similar, but without any of the fun primary colors.

    Punks..the blue hair is ok but the 18 face piercings are a little much :)

    I hardly ever see punks any more. THe only ones are usually overseas tourists who congregate near the exit of Westminster tube station. I always thought punk was more a state of ind than a fashion…..

    That spikey-do was pretty darn awesome in that photo…..

    I think I’m going to pass on the good ol’ “English Wimmins Blue Rinse” look, though, for at least another fifty years….

    That is hilarious! :)

    He’d love my mom. She dyes her hair bright purple. Really. And it looks lovely, thanks.

    I love these conversations.

    LOL, bless the child, that is fantastic. i always wondered about the blue hairs myself as a child.

    I just looked at my profile in the mirror and I am thinking maybe that first hairstyle, the Mohawk thing might work wonders at distracting people from my gravity battle weary second chin. Maybe in a lovely shade of violet however, instead of the blue, so I can still be distinguished from the other blue hairs.
