Little Girls & Hair
Tonight we had the new member's dinner for the Families with Children from China-Houston group. We met at this Chinese buffet on the other side of Houston. There were about 16 people, including our social worker and her daughters that attended.
Most of the little ones that were there were about 3 & 4 years old. They were too cute and had waaaay too much energy. I wish I could have some of that energy!
After we ate and chatted a bit, we got down to business of makeovers and hairstyling. The girls just loved my long hair. I had my hair up in combs and those had to immediately come out so they could use them as brushes. I was completely surrounded by girls trying to comb my hair into 1,000 differant directions. One of them I swore was reincarnated from the 80's because she just wanted rat my hair. It was pretty fun and I am sure entertaining for them and their parents. Plus it was a great time to show my social worker that I can deal with 'hair-raising' experiences!
The funny part of the whole thing was the little girl sitting directly on my lap pulled down my lower eyelids and looked deep into my eyes for about 30 seconds and said, 'You have blue eyes and your face is red!' I totally cracked up.
Two of the girls attend Chinese language classes on Saturdays. So we also had fun testing our abilities to count to ten in Mandarin. Yeah for those few lessons I got from my grandfather.
John of course had a great time talking with the men and snapping photos of my extreme hair makeover. Make sure you check out the video link to the right. John captured part of it on the camera video. Maybe I should send it in for a real makeover?
