lettin the fro go….
2007
Before I begin, let me just say.. my computer has eaten this post twice. If it doesn’t work this time, you all aint getting it cause I’m tired of typing, and getting aggravated so I’m sure its not as funny as it was the first time I wrote it…
I thought I would elaborate some on the great Fro Incident of 2007, that Kristine mentioned yesterday. And before you send hate mail.. No, I am not racist. I, IMO, REALLY DO have a Fro. I’m fairly certain if James Brown and Rosie Odonnell had a love child, Don King would be the God Father, and it would look almost exactly like ME.
I have what I like to call “afro-nap”. Not quite an afro, but certainly nappy. White beauticians wont do me stating my hair “is too ethnic” and beauticians of the darker persuasion, claim they don’t do “Caucasian hair” So, until I find an “almost mulatto” beauty salon. I am assed out on both ends of that train and forced to deal with the knots God gave me.
Anyway, so for some bazaar reason, DH decides that while shopping last weekend we should stop in K-Mart (Mini-Hell-Mart) No one shops at MHM… well unless when they were born floors were still dirt, and suckers costed exactly 1/2 cent.
So in we go.
MHM knows their main customers use walkers so they are usually blaring elevator music or Celine Dion, but by either some freak chance or they had advanced warning that the fro was coming, they are playing some rather ghetto fabulous music today. Now in our MHM, the little old men sit over in the maternity section, not because they are pervs hoping to peak some over engorged “jubliees” which IS why my DH sits over there, but because maternity happens to be the ONLY bench in the joint. So the little ole men sit and relax while their wives run off and spend their pensions. lol…
Well as we turn the corner, between shoes and maternity, I spy the cutest little old man I think I have ever seen! He SOOOO reminded me of my boy “BLUE” from the movie OLD SCHOOL! (RIP BLUE)

Anyway, gramps is doing a little head bob thing, seriously looking ghetto fabulous. So, in total recognition of his efforts, I begin to bob back. My thanks to him, for his giving me hope their is a little rhythm past 80. Well, as I bob, the tracks change and on comes none other then the Man himself JAMES BROWN. I take this as a sign from the powers that be that the universe will align if we, gramps and I, can combine our ghetto efforts, so before I know it my feets are a sliding in full on James Brown/MC HAMMER style. I do my best wiggldy dee, “ugh.. ugh” and spin around to see the look of horror which has now planted itself firmly upon my DH’s face. My poor shy DH. He was a gasp with embarrassment. OH GOD NO was definitely the feel I was getting.. You know, the look when their eyebrows go all the way up into their hairline and their teeth are showing but only on one side? Yep that was the one…
So in an effort to make him feel better, I do the best hip bend foot slide spinny thing I can, reach up, grab my hair clip and scream “ugh.. ugh..lettin the fro go… owwwwww..ugh ugh… watch me!” and I release the curls. DH lowers his head and ducks around the corner.
I got an applause from the maternity section, so I gracefully bowed to my people, and went to find my hiding hubby.
So there you have it. Lettin the Fro Go-dork dancin in its full on glory! hahah!
