Be grateful for that curly hair because it won't last forever

Going through that awkward adolescent phase in the 70s and 80s was not always easy, especially with a head full of wavy curls.
In fact, it was terrible.
See, back then the coolest guys parted their hair down the middle and feathered it back, sort of like the wings of a Golden Eagle. But me? I had curly hair that just sat there on top of my teenage head, frustrating me so much that I cried myself to sleep most nights.

Check out that hair ... and that avocado-colored telephone.

Okay, that last part was a slight exaggeration. I didn't cry myself to sleep, but believe me, I hated my hair.
