Huh?!?

Laurie and I have often joked that one day we're going to coauthor a book on silly (but often well meaning things) that people say. I'm filing these away for the cancer chapter:


While visiting a new church on Sunday:


Pastor's Wife: How are you adjusting to Orlando so far?


Me: Um, okay, all things considered...


PW: What do you mean, "all things considered"?


Me: Well, I've spent a lot of time in chemo since I've been here.


PW: OH (stricken look) I thought...


Me: That this hairdo was on purpose? (laughing)


PW: (Slightly defensive) Well, some people cut their hair that way...


Me: Only if they're in boot camp or making radical political statements!


At the gynecologist's office this morning (note: this practice specializes in chemo and radiation induced issues)


Nurse: I LOVE your haircut.


Me: Haircut??


Nurse: I had really short hair in nursing school...you know, like Mia Farrow.


Me: In Rosemary's Baby?


Nurse: Yes, that's it.


Me: Um, I think Mia still had about two inches on me...this is more "Coiffure by Cancer"!



Edited to add: Yep, I pulled Mia up on Google images. I'm thankful for what I have back so far, but I'll be even MORE thankful when I have as much as her in that shot!). My daughter has also kindly compared my 'do to Jamie Lee Curtis...and I have a LONG way to go to hit her trademark pixie cut, too!

I always thought I said STUPID THINGS PEOPLE SAY.
As per usual, you are far kinder than I. I'm not even willing to give people the credit for "mostly well meaning." LOL....

Laurie
the really mean one.

Hey, the first thing I noticed was your beautiful smile!

I was lucky in that I didn't have to do chemo, only radiation. I've know many others though that lost their hair just like you. In every single case (including yours) I can truthfully say that they looked darling. I'm sincere. I kid you not.

Just keep smiling. You're beautiful!

Hugs!
Kat

hhhmmm...I totally LOVE mia's hair in that pic...& the sparkle of the knife really brings out her eyes. LOLOLOLOLOL

I'd wear that hair, oh wait i have! (but not as well)

Who knows, maybe you'll get 'chemo curl' & yours will come back in an afro! ;o)
