Me: “My cowlick hurts. Why does it hurt?”
Dan: “I don’t know. Maybe you’re sick.”
Me: “I should Google ‘why does my cowlick hurt?‘.”
Dan: “No, don’t do that. All it’s going to say is that you have cancer. Everything says you have cancer. Besides, no one talks about their colic on the internet.”
Me: “Yes, they do. See, right here… Why does my cowlick hurt? And it’s a cowlick, not a colic.”
Dan: “People don’t say cowlick. They all say colic.”
Me: “Colic is what a baby gets. A cowlick is when your hair grows crazy in the back.”
Dan: “They don’t say cow lick though, they say colic. Nobody on the planet has ever said cow lick.”
Me: “I think they really do. You just think they’re saying colic because they say it fast.”
Dan: “No. It’s just like nobody says base cement.”
Me: “What? Base cement??”
Dan: “Yeah, base cement.”
Me: “Uh… nobody ever says base cement.”
Dan: “They don’t now! Because the english language evolves. We don’t talk like people from England anymore either.”
Me: “I’m not sure that theory is accurate. Oh, look… somebody on the internet said ‘my baby has cowlick’. Haha, that’s funny.”
Later that night, I read an article that said it’s imperative for couples to spend at least 10 minutes a day talking about something other than their work, the kids, the house or the relationship to have a healthy relationship. I think we can all see Dan & I have that covered.
I couldn’t agree more. If you read any relationship books cowlicks and date night are imperative to strong lasting relationships.
Exactly!! Thanks for reading Andrew! I wish you many a date night filled with cowlick talk
Okay, but I still don’t get how it hurts. I mean, it’s just hair sticking up, right? HF
Harper, have you learned nothing yet? Hair is a COMPLICATED thing. My cowlick hurt, I think, from having it pulled back in a ponytail all day which it’s not used to since I normally wear it down. You see, hair folicles are creatures of habit too, and are used to laying a certain way. I threw mine for a loop when I wore it up instead.
Wow! I’ve been schooled! Thank you, Teacher. HF
