Girlie

There are certain girl skills I lack. Apparently some class was offered in junior high that I was not invited to. Or maybe I was and I slept late that day. Topics like “How to put on make up” and “How to blow dry your hair” passed me by while somehow all my girl friends learned. So I’m left alone to wield my hair straightener and mascara brush in ignorance. Hunched over the bathroom sink with frizzy split ends and uneven lashes.

At least I can get away with claiming that I’m “low maintenance.”
