August 20. “Button, look at that crow. She’s scrunched her hair.”

“Don’t be funny. She’s just got wet in the rain.”

“Doesn’t it look as if she’s scrunched her hair! That’s what I love doing with my hair. It looks natural and lovely. By the way, You’re turning into quite a metro-sexual yourself!”

“Don’t use such big words. I don’t know what it means.”

“Metro-sexuals are guys who love looking good. These days I find more and more men going to parlours not only get a haircut but to shampoo and set their hair in different styles. More men are going to parlours to get manicures and pedicures. I’ve seen you stand in front of that full-length mirror in the bathroom admiring yourself and trying out different outfits and doing things with your hair.”

“So that’s what metro-sexual means. I’m not one. I was only trying out the new pair of jeans you’ve bought for me.”

“I hope so.”

“Incidentally the crow with the scrunched hair just flew away with perfectly silky, straightened hair.”
