My mom is a bit slow, that is where I get it from.
She told me recently: "I colored my hair, so I had to get some shampoo that would work for the sort of coloring I had done. I saw this shampoo that said 'for women of color' so I assumed that it would work for me. Turns out that is not what the bottle meant."
...
She told me it had a black lady on it, as well.
The process for discovering this wasn't the right shampoo went something like this: "Oh, for women of color. Well, I DID color my hair, that is probably what they mean. Oh, a black lady on a 'for women of color' bottle--I could be black, right?" Then when she gets in the shower and begins applying the shampoo, she thinks, "w-wait a second, I suddenly feel loud and sassy..."
After the shower when the family is watching a movie during dinner, she won't shut up.
I'm always afraid of this sort of thing happening, that is why I only use shampoo labelled "for men not-of-color." Every time I use it my ability to dance gets worse and worse, and I like Fox News more and more.
I like it! I want to hear it in person to understand the timing.
