coffee shop conversation
I have to share the conversation I just overheard, between the two young women making the coffee at my favorite local shop:
Girl One: “You have the most amazing hair.”
(For the record, it was red, bedraggled, and pulled up into a ponytail.)
Girl Two: “Thank you. You know I just jammed it up into a rubber band this morning…”
Girl One: ” I know, but it still looks amazing. You know, some people just have this thing. Their hair, no matter what they do, looks great.”
Girl Two: “I know. I feel blessed.”
Girl One: “You really should cherish that. It’s a gift.”
Girl Two: “I know. Believe me, I’m grateful every day.”
I’m sure the Dalai Lama would be proud of their gift for awareness and gratitude.
Is this what we’ve come to in Seattle?
Hey now, having fabu messy hair is a skill! (One I do not have, alas…)
Still, it does sound awfully O.C., or maybe Laguna Beach… ;)
Yes. I’ve heard about 538 variations of this convo between Seattlites and no, this isn’t as rampant anywhere else.
