Hairstory

By Marci J. Coleman

One of my memorable times with Pop was during one of our summer family reunions. Ebony and I were stirring up trouble and Pop told us to quite down a little bit and we said okay.
When he fell asleep, Ebony and I decided to play a joke on him. We waited until he was asleep and we took some barrettes from our hair and put in his hair. When he woke up, he said he was going to the store and we went with him.

We started to tell him, but we thought it would be fun if we left them in when we went to the store. While in the store, we were laughing so hard we had to tell him! We were only about six or seven years old. Thanks for all the fun times, Pop, especially the fishing trips and my favorite, the Barnhill trips. I love you.
