I have been asked to be a curly hair model for a friend’s hair salon web site. The photography session happens tomorrow. Over the last couple of days I have shared the news with each family member.
Charlie: Are you making that up? Is that a joke?
Cassie: No, it’s not a joke. Pffft.
Charlie: What? I thought it was a joke.
************************************************************
Chloe: Really? Humph.
Cassie: What do you mean, “Really?” I can be a hair model.
Chloe: I guess.
**************************************************************
Max: Why are you telling me this?
Cassie: I’m sharing my news.
Max: I don’t really care about hair. Like, my Mom’s hair….why do I need to know that?
*******************************************************************
Genevieve: What’s a model?
Cassie: They’re going to take pictures of my hair because I have curly hair. A couple of their hair stylists are very good at working with curly hair. They want to show off that fact with some photos.
Genevieve: I think I need to be in the picture too. I can sit on your lap.
Cassie: No. Not this time.
Genevieve: When are the hair pictures happening?
Cassie: Sunday morning.
Genevieve: But that’s when we have pancakes. Who will make the pancakes?
Cassie: Dad.
Genevieve: Fine.
***********************************************************************
Scott: A hair model, huh?
Cassie: Yea. Why is that so hard for everyone to believe?
Scott: No, no reason. It’s just that I’ve seen your hair in all it’s many, you know, glorious phases.
Cassie: Oh…be quiet. It will be styled by E….with product. It will be “professionally contained.”
Scott: Well, alright then.
Cassie: You should probably say something about how beautiful my hair is.
Scott: Hmmm. Yep. But sometimes your hair is….like right now—
Cassie: I just woke up! It’s bed-head!
Scott: Yes, indeed.
Cassie: Anyway, I told Gigi that you would make the whole pancake breakfast.
Scott: Of course you did.
Cassie: And M is sleeping over so you have to make it good…like you care. Have someone help you set the table and stuff.
Scott: Light the candles?
Cassie: Yea. Great idea.
Scott: I was kidding. (Pause) How long is the curly hair modeling going to take?
Cassie: A few hours. I’m not really sure.Then, later in the afternoon, I have my meditation class.
Scott: Right.
Cassie: And I don’t need to tell you that my hair is going to look really good for meditation.
Scott: (sighing) Right.
