Speaking of things you placed in your hair...

My sister had the little bumble bees that you stuck in your dos.

She tells a side splitting story about having those little buggers knocked right out by one of the nuns and watching them go buzzing to the floor.

A friend of Mom's was a hair dresser. She did my sister's hair up in a hive, sprayed the he.. out of it, plunked little bees in it and off sissie went to school.

When the nun was finished with her hair, she told her to go to the bathroom and get it straight.

Nice, huh?

I guess the nun wasn't as impressed as the kids.

We laugh hysterically when she tells the story, but when we stop to think about it, it's a terribly humiliating thing to do to a kid.

There are lots of other stories like that from going to Catholic school in the 60's and 70's. Those nuns wouldn't stand a chance treating kids like that these days.
