Hi Myrna,
I was reading your email about eating Jell-O powder. We did that as children. It brings back fond memories. It tasted good!
One part of your email where you described eating permanent wave powder reminded me of a story I read. A quote from your email is below, and my story is below that.
“After we consumed the Jell-O, we all found out that what we had really eaten was permanent wave powder. My goodness! We all had excited adults at that point.”
The story tells of a man and his wife on a trip. They accidently hit a rabbit while driving. They stopped to see if the rabbit was ok. The rabbit appeared dead. Just then a lady stopped to see if they needed help. When they explained what had happened, the lady went to her car and came back with a package. She opened it and placed some of the contents on the rabbit. The rabbit jumped up and hopped toward the woods. After a few feet it turned around and waved at them. It would then hop a few feet and turn to wave again. It did this all the way to the woods. They asked the lady what she had used to heal the rabbit. She handed them the package. On the package was written, “New shampoo formula. This new shampoo will bring life back to any hair, and your hair will have a permanent wave.”
Oh well, you and Leonard needed something to laugh about after his “Humpty Dumpty” experience.
Lots of love,
Gordon
