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!

LOL! I haven’t seen a member of the blue rinse brigrade in YEARS! Don’t tell me THAT’s coming back in style for the oldies!

PMSL The old ducks would love being called English Wimmins Punks!
July 15th, 2008 at 2:45 am
Thank you for the best laugh of today!
July 15th, 2008 at 3:50 am
Hey, old gals can be punky too!
July 15th, 2008 at 4:58 am
Made me remember Grandma!!! Good stuff!!
July 15th, 2008 at 6:37 am
Funny!
I think all of them are punks! lol
What’s he saying about your age though?
July 15th, 2008 at 6:38 am
Pretty good stuff today! Profound, even….
July 15th, 2008 at 6:39 am
haha, that was great

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.

*snorts cofee through nose*

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.
July 15th, 2008 at 9:08 am
Oh! This had me in stitches! Especially since I’ve had blue hair…and red…and purple…
July 15th, 2008 at 11:18 am
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
July 15th, 2008 at 12:58 pm
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….
July 15th, 2008 at 4:22 pm
Looks like someone I went to high school with. *grin* Gotta love those blue haired punk octagenarians!
July 15th, 2008 at 4:32 pm
Don’t you love those priceless conversations.
July 15th, 2008 at 5:11 pm
And the blue-haired group gets a new nickname.
That is hilarious!
July 15th, 2008 at 7:02 pm
He’d love my mom. She dyes her hair bright purple. Really. And it looks lovely, thanks.
July 15th, 2008 at 7:50 pm
Now THAT is funny.
July 15th, 2008 at 10:06 pm
Awesome. I think the guy in the photo looks quite hot, actually.
I love these conversations.
July 16th, 2008 at 2:50 am
hehe too cute!
July 16th, 2008 at 11:56 am
LOL, bless the child, that is fantastic. i always wondered about the blue hairs myself as a child.
July 16th, 2008 at 1:55 pm
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.
July 16th, 2008 at 6:06 pm
lol. I love these connections.
(I think I must blog your phone-sheep pictures)
