Last Friday, a colleague asked me to watch her homeroom for a few minutes. One of the girls in the homeroom was fixing her hair and fretting about a couple of hairs that didn’t want to behave. I commented that people don’t look that closely at other people, and that she was most likely the only person who was going to notice her hair on that level of detail.
She remained unconvinced, so I told her to look away and asked her to tell me which side my hair is parted on. She replied defensively, “I was looking at you, not your hair… oh… um… yeah.”
