So Sunday Chris made a quick visit by the studio and I decided to go into the beauty shop next door. Laney has been biting her nails and the poor things are nothing but nubs now. I have declared no more nail painting until she actually grows out nails to paint. Laney is not pleased with this and is trying to stop the biting. Then I had an idea. I need to purchase nail polish especially made for nail biters and I just assumed that it could be found in any of the abundant beauty supply shops in town. Seemed like a safe assumption.
After perusing several aisles of wigs and weaves, because for some odd reason they really fascinate me, I made my way to the nail supply aisle. All kinds of neat products that I mentally filed away to come pick up at another time. I also decided that I could use some of the acrylic nails stuff to make miniature clear models of tiny animals. I also spied battery operated nail files and some kind of silk wrapping for nails. (SO FANCY) After several minutes of browsing I could not find the bad tasting nail polish. I did find nail growth polish and decided to pick that up. I figured giving Laney a little boost wouldn't hurt anything.
I wandered up to the check out isle and asked the lovely store clerk if she knew where in the store I could find the nail polish. I said, "My daughter is a very bad nail bitter and I am looking for nail polish made to deter her from that". The answer I got was so amazing I stood there stunned. Lovely store clerk, "Well this is a black beauty supply shop and black children don't do that." Me, "........'blink, blink'.............."
I was so shocked and amazed by that comment that it literally rendered me speechless. I gathered up my purchased and stumbled my way outside into the glaring sun.
