I tried a curling iron and I got burned by it. Didn't know you were supposed to stop before you hit your skin. Idiot.

She was about 10 yrs old and she and her mother both had natural curly hair. My hair is straight as a board if I don't curl it. That Sunday morning I rolled my hair up on hot rollers and had come to breakfast with them in my hair. As soonas she saw them she asked what did I have in my hair. I explained to her that I had to curl my hair for it to look nice. Since she and her mother never had to usecurlers, she had no idea what I was doing.Emma > > > From: bunny440@windstream.net > > To: memory-lane@rootsweb.com > > Date: Tue, 1 Mar 2011 20:21:30 -0500 > > Subject: Re: [ML] Cups and saucers > > > > I remember my Mom using the heated curling iron on my hair.
