Hairdos

When I was at a stoplight today I saw a woman in hair rollers. She was the passenger in a mini van behind me. A middle-aged woman, head completely engulfed in rollers.

I haven't seen that in ages. When I was growing up there was a woman across the street who always was in hair rollers. It didn't matter what she was doing -- hanging out the laundry, mowing the lawn, gardening, driving the kids somewhere. I never saw her hair, ever.

Doncha miss 1970? I remember that. Always wondered about the women who had curlers when they went to church or out to eat. What WAS the big event they were getting ready for?
