After 41 years of bliss, I have have come up with the answer to the inevitable question ["Does my hair look all right?"] that arises after Lo, she is a terrible Goddess, has been to the hairdressers.

I've tried everything.

"It's lovely darling."
"You think so!! - I think it's awful!"

or, when that didn't work,

"What do you think?"
"No. I want to know what you think."
"Errr, it's lovely darling."
"No, it's not. It's a disaster."

or, after that futile effort,

"In a couple of days it'll look lovely - you know - when it's 'settled'"
"You don't like it."
"Yes, I do. It looks lovely"
"Rubbish - it's horrible."

I tried just mumbling but was always pressed into making some audible statement - never the correct one apparently.



This morning there was a breakthrough.

"What does my hair look like?"

Pause.

"Which one?"

Silence ................. and then a fit of giggles all round ................result!


(Are hairdressers specially trained to go deaf when you say the word ' trim', I wonder`? Lo,TG Ed)
