I learned something very surprising today...Not everyone thinks the same way I do! Ok for real, I knew this I am not totally self absorbed, I just never realized my daughter was so different than I am when it comes to trying new things.
While searching the shampoo isle at Target looking intently for the product that would ultimately change my world, my daughter said something that stunned me. She picked up a bottle of shampoo all shiny and golden in color with the word NEW prominently printed on the label and proceeded to carefully read the label. She commented on the sparkly look of the product, shared with me the products promise of shiny softer hair and brighter highlights opened the bottle and smelled it, commenting on how good it smelled. And then she put the bottle back on the shelf. I asked her if she wanted to try it and she said, "I like my shampoo and it works fine".
WHAAAATTT? She is a beautiful girl who is blessed with shiny blond hair with exactly the perfect amount of layers, perfectly straightened and reaching to the middle of her back. She could probably wash her hair in dish detergent and it would still look great. But not try something new, I don't get it. So I asked her, "Why not try it, you may like it better than your shampoo?" And she replied, "It may NOT work."
The thought never crossed my mind. Of course it will work, it's NEW. It must be better, right?
