Stone Soup by Jan Eliot for November 15, 2024

Simon is sooo gay!

A home perm is, so I’m informed, an awful experience. Mind, I’m also leery of anything that has to be renewed ever few weeks being called “permanent”.

But then I’m male, wash my hair with the same soap I use on my body and “do” my hair by running a brush through it front to back three times (left, middle and right) so I have absolutely NO personal experience.

My Mom used to give herself a “Toni” home permanent. All I can remember is the awful smell of chemicals and wet hair.

Simon knows having children requires being with a female !

Gay is not a disease, it’s a lifestyle. Not my lifestyle.

I don’t believe Simon is in danger of having any children.

Fifty years ago, more or less, I gave myself a Toni. Well, everybody was doing it. I have naturally curly hair. The Toni was followed, extremely swiftly, by the shortest haircut in my entire life.

And too many people discover that too late!

LOL!

A lot of people who aren’t gay feel as Simon does.

Good thing for Simon that somebody decided to bring him into this world and put up with him when he was one of those “little short things”.
