"To argue with a fool makes two fools!" (Thus the old saying goes.) And, we "Longhairs" certainly seem to get "picked-on" by the "Nit-Pickers" of society who voice their dislike of how we choose to do what we want with our hair. But, here are some comments (retorts) I have used on these "self appointed meddlers" which blows them away. Actually, I think they want to argue.............but instead, just throw them over your shoulder with comments such as these. (It is actually rather funny, for it leaves them with their mouths open, speechless,as they simply have no place to go.) And now, for some questions and answers:
1.) Q:"Did you know that your hair is getting long?" A: Yup!" 2.)Q:Don't you think it's time to get a Haircut?" A: What time is it? I don't have my watch on today." 3.)Q:"Your hair is so long, you're starting to look like a Girl." A:"I hope she is a pretty one." 4.) Q:"How can you see where you're going with all that hair in your face?" A:Hmmmmmmmmm..........must be by Radar I guess." 5.) How much longer are you going to let your hair get?" A: "I don't know." 6.)"Your hair is a MESS!" A: "Good! That's just the way I like it. Glad you noticed. Thank you ever so much for the compliment!" 7.) Q:"If you let your hair get any longer, a bird might build a nest in it!" A:"Is that so? Wow! Sure hope it's the Goose that Lays Golden Eggs!" :-)
Give it a try.......it is hysterical! Ruins their fun as you chuckle inside. Have fun and let it grow! And remember the old saying:
"To argue with a fool makes two fools!"
he..he...I like ALL of those.
Oddly, I've NEVER had anybody say ANYTHING to me about my hair except
one who *thinks* I will cut it when the ehat of summer hits...he..he...
I also like: "Are you going to cut your hair?" "No! End of discussion."
Actually, I have felt like using a barrage of 4 letter words. (And this is most probably what they want.) But no, MUCH better is the soft polite spoken (with a cheerful smile) answer of what they don't count on hearing at all. Ha ha ha...........I keep my cool without the slighest intention of moving away, but the "meddlers" move on in a hurry. The looks on some of those faces are sometimes priceless. HYSTERICAL! THEY FLEE THE SCENE.............not the "Longhair."
Here's how it goes with me. Q: "When are you ever going to cut your hair?" Look at him/her in a confused manner and ask: "Your what hurts?" They'll get the picture right away.
I like this one best. Great having you back Treyn.
...I always get a kick out of saying that to people. My wife thinks it's hilarious.
Them: "You really should get a trim to get rid of all the split ends."
Me: "Find one."
