Forgot to buy that…

03.26.2009 by juliegumm@yahoo.com //

All four kids spent the night at MeeMaw and Pa’s house last night.

This morning I got a call from MeeMaw.

“Julie, how am I supposed to fix Beza’s hair? You didn’t send any Ethiopian water.”

Huh?

I guess she asked Beza what I use to fix her hair in the morning. She said water.

Natalie added “Yeah, Ethiopian water.”

I guess she thinks I brought home some special water that I’ve been using in that spray bottle. (It’s really just a 1 to 6 mixture of hair oil and water.)

    What I want to know is did Cathy really think you had Ethiopian water or was she just teasing you?

    Yeah, well when it happened I couldn’t even control my laughter and Bill (Pa) had no idea why we couldn’t continue the conversation he was about to have with me and why I wasn’t listening to him. I laughed for at least 10 minutes and then all day long I continued to laugh off and on. That is so like Natalie to be so naive and a little bit blonde. That is why we all love her so!!
