A Journey through perception and misunderstood language

In this episode I talk about my childhood. When I was a small child people thought that my curly hair was cute. As I grew older my mother viewed it as a problem. Desperate to fix what she perceived as an issue, my mother sought various remedies, but none succeeded.

I visited a stylist named Captain Bud, known for cutting curly hair. During the visit, an unintentional misunderstanding occurred when my mother described my hair as "kinky," leading to a humorous clarification by Captain Bud about the term's sexual connotations.

My story touches on societal expectations, the subjective nature of normalcy, and the potential misinterpretation of terms like "kinky" depending on the context and relationship with the person using them.
