So this is one of the dumbest complaints - re:hair. I know I'm preaching to the choir here, but what in God's name is wrong with paying someone a compliment? Why is it wrong to take notice of hair that is different than yours and to compliment it?

During a recent doctor's visit in the waiting room, my daughter shared her kindle with some other kids who were waiting, three black kids around her age and a bit younger. They were super curious about her hair, and that's okay. It's natural to be curious about things that are different from what you're used to. People are such weirdos about the silliest stuff.
