Years ago I worked at the state hospital and there were doctors from Cuba, etc. The lady doctor from Cuba was such a sweet person and tried hard to understand our ways. I got my hair cut and fixed and she said, "Oh, I love your hair. It's a 100% improvement." I said thank you but I must have had a rather strange look on my face. I knew she didn't mean to insult me but I kept thinking, Boy, I must have looked really bad!Momsthewordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06794683299776977697noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1359968326144627968.post-36002343093916329272008-02-14T09:30:00.000-07:002008-02-14T09:30:00.000-07:00I can't think a something specifically said to me,...I can't think a something specifically said to me, but I remember a song that hurts to hear and I really detest the song.
