complimentary insults

so maybe i don't wash my hair every day. or every other day. and maybe - when the natural oils are abundant - i like to make hair art by twisting my tresses up and out like a twister passed through them.

the other day i was losing a game of mini-pool against a lad in the 3rd grade (james) when i turned to hair art therapy for relief. he stepped back, gave me a look somewhere between puzzlement and disgust, and blurted:

"you have rockstar hair!"

i haven't washed my hair since.
