I forgot!

I can't believe I forgot to include the weirdest thing that I said yesterday in yesterday's blog post! It was the whole impetus for the blog post in the first place.

After lunch yesterday, we took the boys to the Dollar Store so Jasper could use his chore money to buy something. After we had checked out, Andrew and the boys had walked out of the store and I was close behind them when a lady came up to me and said, "You really have quite a lot of unflattering cheek hair. Here's my card, I just opened my own salon. Come on in and i'll thread it for you for only $25."

me- blink. blink...  Totally taken aback and surprised that a stranger was talking to me, I randomly thought she meant that my bangs were long and were brushing up against my cheek a lot and needed a trim, but I couldn't quite process her words. So I said, "Excuse me... what?"

and she said, "Your cheek hair! The hair on your cheeks. It's really unflattering.. You have quite blond cheek hair that clashes a lot with your skin tone and you really need to get it threaded and removed. Come to my salon and I'll thread your cheek hair for you. It really looks awful."

me-......blink........blink.... blinking some more whilst simultaneously rubbing my cheeks, trying to see if I somehow missed the fact that i'm growing a beard........... and I'm still blinking in a kind of baffled manner....

the lady said "Everyone gets their cheek hair threaded! It's the most unflattering thing on your face and it's SOO noticeable! You really need to get it threaded and I'll give you a discount, too!"

me- "um... Thanks anyway, but I really don't mind having cheek hair."

lady- "are you sure? It's really unflattering with the men. Trust me, they'll be MUCH more into you if you don't have such unflattering cheek hair."

me- "um... Well, I'm married. And I'm pretty sure my husband doesn't mind my cheek hair... I guess I haven't really asked him before, but I really don't think he minds it. I certainly don't mind having cheek hair... it's kind of a part of my face. I'll talk with my husband."

lady- "ok, but you really need to have your cheek hair removed."

me- "Ok, thanks anyways, but I'm pretty fond of my cheek hair. I think I'll keep it."

at which point, I thought to myself, "did those words really come out of my mouth?!"

I walk outside to my guys and turn to Andrew and say, "Hey hon. Do you mind the fact that I have cheek hair?"

Andrew- blink..... blink..... blinking in confusion, thinking to himself that this has got to be a trick question....

And that's when I started laughing. It was one of those days.

So... to recap. Weird things I said yesterday:
1. "Aww.. Thanks for saying I don't look like death! That's so sweet of you!"
2. "Don't snort like a pig and don't pick your nose. I love you! Have fun!"
3. "I think it's beef, but maybe it's pork. I thought it would be deep fried, but it's floating around in this green stuff instead. But it's really good!"
4. "I'm pretty fond of my cheek hair. It's kind of a part of my face. I think I'll keep it."
5. "Wait! Who packs heat in their diaper bag?!"
