Oh, heck, yeah, I've been burned by a hot comb. And don't forget getting burned by relaxer. I had a horrible neck burn in 1995.

Wooooo taking me back with the Dixie Peach! Don't forget DAX.

Oh...my mom tried to use Prell on me ONCE. It never happened again.

Oooooh! DAX was the greasiest grease of them all.

You can get your black card pulled if your Mom never put a hunk of DAX on the back of her hand when she was pressing your hair. She waive her hands around as much as she wanted and that grease wasn't going anywhere.

You can also get your black card snatched if you don't know what Jean Nate and Hai Karate smell like.

If you or a family member never owned a television where you used a wire hanger as an anttenna, hand over your card.

If you put little foil balls on top of said anttenna hoping to get a better reception, hand over your card.

If you used a pair of pilers to change the station cause the knobs were missing, hand in your card.

Jean Nate
 

I remember I used to love getting into my mom's Jean Nate and putting it on me. :) Now, I've moved on to more sophisticated scents.

I know what Hai Karate smells like, but I don't recall my Dad using it.

That hotcomb was the bane. of. my. childhood.

Ugh. And it does so much damage to the hair! Never again.

I really, really want sons people, lol.

Re: I've been told..............
 

So so true. I'd rather I'd never learn. Give me Go Fish anyday. lol J/k. :D

There are permanent dents in the tops of my ears from my mother burning me in the same spot so many times. She still does not think that there is anything qrong with that. Her answer is "if would have sat still, you wouldn't have gotten burned."

I am not pressing my daughter's hair. If she needs it straightened, then I'll take her to the hairdresser. No hot combs on my stove.

YOU AIN'T NEVER LIED!!

My mom would wait to get on the phone and get to talking and get to burning my kitchen up!!!!!:mad: :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:

Then I would go outisde, run and play, and POOF!!! It would go back. She would cuss me out. I would cry. She would put my azz back in press and curl torture chamber!!! :(

She did not use DAX or Dixie but I know my hair was OILED down like crazy.

Never got your hair french braided without adding hair? having 8000 beads in yo hair?

lololo Ok **hijack**

HC I saw a little girl like this the other day
HC from a distance I thought she had blue hair
HC she had so many beads that she had trouble controlling her head
HC she reminded me of Syreena and Venus
HC? HC? HC?

ok we're back! :D

HC you named my mom and dad's favorite scents when I was growing up? http://www.superbabies.homestead.com/files/biglaugh.gif

HC I thought I was grown when my grandmother would let me wear some of her Jean Nate to church?
HC I know the congregation could smell me five blocks away because I damn near bather myself in it?
HC?

LOL! LOL! So so sad, but so so true. I never figured out HC that always has to happen, surely the mother knows other black people besides the baby daddy? :confused:

Or the grandma or the aunts. Somebody should be able to help with the child's hair.

MAMMAAAA NOOOOOOOO!!!!

You didn't like "Good Times"? :eek:
