Cul de Sac by Richard Thompson for December 13, 2020

with all that shampoo, Alice looks like either a toilet brush or a disco dancer

And so, Petey learns the wisdom of the old writer’s dictum: Write what you know.

Dill: “How’d you get your hair like that?” Alice: “How many cookies do you have?”

That stuff really works! Papaya guava folliculizer volumizer!

Holy shampoo, Bathman! Mom’s fancy faux French shampoo+ has done a job on little Miss Ooh La La and has inspired Petey (My Hero!) to some of his most moving writing!

Never sit on the floor in the bathroom. I don’t care how well you clean it, five minutes later, you’ll be sorry.

…and Alice continues to say nothing but “Ooh La La!” until her next bath.

The shampoo names are hilarious! :P

And she oo la-laed all day long.

This is SO good. Man I miss Richard.

I also say “ooh la la”. Alice, you are gorgeous!

I’m all about the fancy shampoo.

Alas, poor hair, I remember it well…

“It’s alive!” ( ͡ᵔ ͜ʖ ͡ᵔ )

I am not sure Mrs. Otterloop needs volumizer with her curly hair.

Nothing like some papaya-guava fertilizer. Ooh La La

I once left for a minute to answer the door, came back and my son (then very little, like Alice) had dumped ALL of my really nice bodywash into his bath. He told me it was because he loved the smell. Then of course, he rubbed his eyes and cried because they stung (he was used to the tearless formula of his own bath soap). He never touched my bottles of product again. lol

Oh Petey, the struggle is real; oh the troubles you’ve seen.

From Latin America, too!
