.....and Nana just turned to me and started talking about her hair. she goes "I don't care if Gayle (my mom) and Papa are mad at me for cutting my hair, I feel better." Here's the thing though: they weren't really mad at her, they were a bit frustrated because she did this without thinking, and is going to regret it. They don't have to be mad, because she will be mad at herself. I think she might be regretting it a little already, because they way she said it was like she was trying to convince herself, and to attempt to show me that she really doesn't care, despite the fact that she keeps touching the back of her head, and playing with that long bit. Like, she's over covering it up.
Now Mom came out after taking a shower and said she "felt so clean". Here's the conversation:
Nana (defensive): "That's how I feel after cutting my hair."
Mom (amused): "But I don't have any bald spots after taking a shower."
Nana: "I don't think I really have a bald spot."
Mom: "Wanna bet?" (That is my mom's phrase. If she says that, you better rethink what you just said. Because you're wrong.)
Nana: ...
Mom: "Here I can show you."
-Mom shows her-
Nana: "Oh... I'm going to go take a nap."

My mom and nana have their own conversations that I never really understand. In fact, my mom is always right and I don't know how she does it. It's so funny because when my mom says "wanna bet", I really am in big trouble.
That's so mean of your mom!
You're supposed to humor little old ladies!
Marissa: You have no idea how much she gets humored. For instance, for this next week/two weeks, i don't have a room. Nana gets it, and she thinks I'm just offering it up because I'm "such a sweet girl". And we nod and smile when she tells a story, even though it's probably half made-up or she's told it about 20 times before.
