The Importance of Hair
The one thing that I inherited from my grandmother
Drabble word for the day ‘wave’
My 100 word drabble submitted to Fiction Shorts deals with the inner workings of my family when I was a youth.
The featured word of the day ‘wave’ plays a big part in it.
My family saga reads like this:
My grandmother had a shock of beautiful gray hair with a natural wave in the front.
I didn’t get lucky enough to inherit her beautiful hair.
Just the wave.
I had red hair.
Like a clown.
My older cousin made fun of me because of my wave.
He had straight brown hair; so did his little brother and his mom and dad.
I told my grandmother I was ashamed of my hair.
“Why?” she asked me.
“My cousin teases me,” I answered.
My grandmother dramatically tossed her beautiful head of wavy gray hair and pronounced,” Your cousin has no class.”
