My mom (aka morm and sometimes aka momy) insisted on doing my hair today. Tonight is the night of the chinese wedding banquet and the lady is a bit frantic (this is definitely her event not ours). I'm not 100% sure why one of her several hairdresser friends isn't doing my hair instead, but hey, you don't ask morm these things.
What you do ask her is when the last time she used her 1970's portable hairdrying machine was. Your answer will be "oh probably ten years ago," but both you and she will know that the real answer is much longer ago than that.
