Three Teens in the 80's

Daniel, Diana and Jeannette

Diana was on the phone with the extra long cord that was being stretched to the limit.  It started out in the kitchen and headed all the way down past the the family room and bathroom and into her room.  She was on the floor with the door locked talking to her friend. Cordless phones were not invented yet.   Daniel was on his turn tables playing music and scratching the album to a new beat.  His friends were all around enjoying the music.  Jeannette was trying to take a big knot of hair stuck deep into her scalp.  She yelled out to me to help her.  I was trying to finish making dinner. I stopped everything to run up the stairs to see what she wanted.  I tried to help her by using a brush, comb and then even resorted to peanut butter to try and get the hair untangled.  The more I tried, the worse it got.  Diana tried also.  Jeannette's eyes were getting watery and I knew she was about to cry so I said, "Let's go to Super Cuts and see if someone there can do it for us.  She was happy to hear that so she put her long hair in a bun and off we went.  The young lady at Super Cuts told me that it was impossible to untangle the big knot of hair.  It was too big.  About the size of a small apple.  She advised me to just have her hair cut short all around.  I looked at Jeannette and she smiled and said, "Go ahead, I just want this out."  So, her hair was cut short and the next day is when this picture was taken.  Doesn't she look so cute.  I love this picture.  When she and I were together towards the end of her life she talked about this incident in her life.  We laughed again.  It was good to see her laugh.
