Monday I actually felt human- yipee! My knees were starting to be very achey though, and only some slight tiredness. My mom and I went out shopping and to lunch and I got along pretty well. We found a local wig shop and decided to stop in- they mostly had fun cheap wigs. The woman working in there was a young black woman. After looking around, I pronounced that I wanted to try on an afro. She was like- WHAT? YOU want an afro? Hell yea I want an afro- who wouldn't want a head full of awesomeness? She got quite a kick out of it. So, I tried a couple of them and I must say, I looked pretty good! It was pretty fun to wear and I am thinking I really should get one. I didn't buy anything in there though but my mom found a really cute wig that she decided to get- just for days she doesn't want to deal with her own hair.
I decided to trick Cameron when he came home from school- I put my moms wig on and acted completely normal. Mind you- my moms wig is reddish, but very short- very different from how I wear my hair. Cam came home and I was talking to him and he was responding but hadn't really looked at me yet. Then all the sudden he looked up and his eyes almost popped out of his head! Oh, I wish I had video taped that moment! He then nervously looked down and continued the conversation, but he looked up again and got those big eyes again... oh it was so funny. You could tell he was THRILLED with it, and with the idea of me being bald. He really things this is going to be such a funny thing. So finally he gets up the courage to ask if I was wearing a wig now? When I said yes, he was beaming. He then asked- can I see under it? Are you bald? He was sooo hopeful about that! LOL! So he was disappointed that I still had hair but man, that moment is one of those things I don't think I will ever forget. That kid sure does make me laugh!
