Bad Hair Week
I had braids so this story is gonna be a little left field.This must have been back in 2003, 2004 and everybody had braids back then. Well I came back home and let my mother braid my hair before I head back to college . My pastor, who is a woman, said to my mother "hey let me finish the rest with you."

I will never forget , on the very next floor one of the Kappa Alpha psi's members gets on the elevator and looks at me and says, loudly ,
"oh my God boy somebody fucked your head all the way up. You need to take that out right now! That shit is disgusting." Ol girl starting LAFFIN
