Ok so I BC'd my hair a few days ago and my family of course is cracking jokes left and right. I've heard it all in the last few days.

1. my nephew...while looking at my hair, says " I suddendly have the urge for tacos." (Indicating my hair looks like taco meat).:lachen:
2. My brother tells me he could make a nice sweater with my hair.:lachen:

It dosen't hurt my feelings, they are family they like my hair, they are just having fun at my expense. Has anyone cracked jokes on your twa? If so please share.

You know you look good with that twa!
 
Oh and how could I forget the funniest one of them all. My niece whispers to me in church that my hair was so nappy Moses couldn't part it. Dang that was so funny and I couldn't laugh cause I was in church. I had to act like I was sneezing to laugh.
 
Make sure you keep your sense of humor about it. Right now you're on the BC high and all is good so it may not bother you or you may just not be sensitive about it. Just make sure you don't begin to let the comments get to you (especially when your having those days with your hair that make you want to scream). The sweater one was funny tho!
 
at least you're taking it all in stride! my ex's BIL asked me if i had fallen in the pool...i got a LOT of "omg what did you do" type comments...
 
DH use to tell me I looked like Ashley. Ashley is a man we know with a big butt :nono:.

It was actually pretty funny to me :lachen::lachen::lachen:.
 
I guess you are a better sport than me. The only way some comments like that directed towards my TWA would end is in someone going down! :boxing:

I didn't have as much confidence in my hair as you do, so it's good that you can find some humor in it :drunk:

I had a TWA in grade school. My hair was so short that I couldn't even comb it. And I had a big forehead. Oh the jokes. :lachen::lachen::lachen:I can laugh now that those days are many years behind me.
 
oh god I get them left and right. I get the whole "I'm glad you're not succumbing to the evils of the relaxer, my nubian sister, fight the man, by the way here's my new album coming out *beats drum* " kind of nonsense from my siblings at least twice a day:rolleyes: Every time I come around they make black power fists

That one right there is pretty funny. Very funny, actually.

I started to get upset with my family (mostly DH and DD) but pretty quickly I realized that it said more about them than it did about me. When the jokes are funny, I laugh pretty hard right along with them. When they don't come from a "good" place, I correct gently and seriously...REAL SERIOUSLY...and then move on. Honestly, most people don't know they are being offensive and mean no true harm; they are more uncomfortable with the fact of their ethnicity than they realize.

I have been told I look like:

* Chewie (Star Wars)
* Florida Evans (I corrected REAL quick on that one because....well you go look at Florida, and then look at me.)
* Michael from Good Times
* Michael Jackson (I later agreed with my Cantu Shea Buttered head!)
* a 70's wannabe (actually a compliment)

Those days were short though (only about a month long) and now they both call me Curly (DD) or Afro Thunder (DH's new love name which I LOVE!!!) or some other variation with curls or afros in there somewhere.

I'm learning to style my hair pretty quickly, and DH is looking at me with new respect. He never knew I knew how to take care of natural hair because I was single when I was previously natural, and he's starting to see me as a sexy (and kind of wild) woman. :kiss2:

For me, the jokes have been good to show me where they are and, conversely, where I am. I think we're growing out of them now, though...

Oh, the journey of natural hair...

Great thread, OP!!!

LOL!! Now that is funny!!!

I don't go a day with hearing a TWA joke. One of my friends call me "Q-tip" and my asian classmate, whose always saying something about my hair, renamed me "fro" lol. Sometimes my friend would stick her hand in my hair and she'll quickly talk it out and hold it like its bleeding and yell "OMG, it bit me!!!" :lachen: They did that ALOT when I was transitioning! Another time, we were on the subject about a burning building and one the of the kids said "We can use Kristin's (me) hair as a trampoline! They'll bounce right off!!"

Today, I wore my satin bonnet to school, a few kids were if I took it off it'll be like I unleashed a whole new world and I said "and there will be little people too".

I like to joke around about my hair with people, I kinda have a great sense of humor.
