Lash-Attack: A Safety Proverb



Photo by David.  Taken on a family photo excursion around town.

So, the other day at church, some friends were complimenting me on having long eyelashes.  I have never really noticed that particular trait before and so I thought about their comments throughout the next couple of days... "Long lashes? Hmmm... I don't know. I always thought my brothers had long lashes... They're not really that long, are they?"

You know that sort of unimportant, vain babble that goes on in one's head (or maybe just in mine as that would not be entirely improbable) after receiving a compliment?  You may also recall that saying...  You know the one that goes, "pride goes before the fall?"  Ha!

Well, that same week, I was lighting the barbecue--safely, I might add--when lo, and behold, the fire jumped right out of the grill and landed on my head singe-ing my eyelashes on one eye and my hair on one side of my head!  Fun.  So now I have long lashes on the left and gimpy, short lashes on the right--aaaand, some nice textural interest on the right side of my head. Lovely. So, if you happen to see me around town, I'm not winking at you.  That's just me trying to hold up the weight of lashes on one side.

Have a great weekend! (Oh, and look out for those grills if you decide to barbecue.  They're feisty little suckers...)
