A lesson on tone...

me: "...i am going to make a few statements to you and I want to you tell me the 'tone' of my speech."

me (angry voice): "_______________ I am VERY disappointed with your performance. What was the tone of that comment?"

student: "mad...and angry."

me (calm and happy voice): "let's try this one. '_______________ I am so proud of you!!' What was my tone in that statement?"

Student: "Sexy."



...that went wrong somewhere along the way.

How do you proceed? lmao

gel and weave...gel and weave

My inner ghetto has re-discovered a housing project classic- "Doo-Doo gel"!!!! I had to find a way to exercise without worrying about my press. The ponytail just wasn't right using Jam and the nice wooden hair brush. Something stronger was necessary and I found it on the aisle in the Korean beauty supply store next to the hard plastic brushes. My soul felt right again...there was hope for me:) As I stood in the mirror as my rough edges turned smooth (gel, water, plastic brush, and old toothbrush combination for the "baby hair"), I gloried for like five minutes. After promptly wrapping my hair in a tight scarf for emphasis, I reminisced of my Chicago days when you weren't cool unless you had a "fan" ponytail. Then Chicago hood hair evolved into the weave ponytail and finger waves (all of these do's wouldn't have been possible w/o "Doo-Doo Gel). So thank you Doo-Doo gel for holding it down all these years and keeping the hood alive. Some little girl named Shaquanetta in Cabrini Green thanks you as well:)
