A Turning Point Perhaps

I'm always looking for Signs to Help Me in Life.

I voraciously read Billboards. Numberplates. Newspaper & Gossip Magazine Headlines. I'll walk past a newstand & catch the front cover of 'New Idea' with a picture of Angelina Jolie with the headline, 'How She's Coping' . And then I'll ask myself, 'How Am I Coping?'

Sometimes I don't like the answer I give.

Now I'm turning to Supermarket Items for guidance. Yesterday, I was trawling through the Shampoo Section at Woolworths & I found 'Turning Point'.

Yes, A Definite Sign, I thought.

I hope that my hair is not at a Turning Point, though. I couldn't stand it. It's all I've got left.

Today, Gaby, one of my younger students, put up her hand in class to ask a question.

'What is your Real Hair Colour, Ms?' she inquired.

I inwardly nearly blew a gasket

'Gaby', I said, 'I, am a Freak of Nature. I know it's hard to believe, but this is my natural hair colour. OK, I spray the top with a little 'Sunsilk Sunnin' whatever it's called, but I'm still Basically Blond'.

Everyone yawned.
