2/9 – "My hair is still famous"

9 Feb

Over the weekend my mom told me a story how she recently went into Vincent Bruce, a hair salon type place back on Long Island.  I’m telling you, she hadn’t been in there in literally 15+ years, and the same goes for me.

Seconds upon entry, the woman at the counter goes, “Hey, you look familiar. Do you have a son?”  My mom says, “Yes.”  The lady responds, “I think I remember him. He was on crutches and had really thick hair.”

Yup, I was recovering from foot surgery back in 5th grade (1991), and it’s true my Jewfro’s thickness is legendary.  I guess I don’t really have a point, other than noting that 17+ years later, and despite living 2800+ miles from Deer Park Avenue, my hair still has a reputation and is widely talked about.
