A couple of weeks ago the Rodder got his haircut at a new place and the barber put some gel in his hair. This was obviously a new experience for him as since then he has mentioned several times he wants some gel. Each time I say that I have some and that I just need to dig it out of somewhere.
So last night we are sitting on the couch, relaxing...
the Rodder: I really like that gel you have (running his hand over his hair).
Me: What gel? (puzzled as I never dug the gel out)
the Rodder: the gel that is under your sink in the bathroom
Me: huh?
the Rodder: the one in big green bottle. . . I think its called Aloe Vera.
Me: snicker, snicker. You mean the green bottle of Aloe Vera. That's not for your hair! That's what I use for sunburns!
the Rodder: it said Aloe Vera GEL! I thought it was for hair.
Me: Nope, its for your skin.
the Rodder: I still like what it does to my hair.
So ladies if you have coarse hair, the Rodder recommends Aloe Vera for smooth, shiny hair.
Oh, the poor Rodder! He often laments "I can't speak English and I don't remember my Farsi! I am in a sad shape!"
