Boys Don't Comb Their Hair
Boys don't comb their hair;
I tried to brag to Ygabba.
She laughed.
All boys comb their hair,
Especially boys with hair as long as mine.
Truthfully, I combed my hair as a kid.
Then things just... got in the way.
Then I didn't feel like combing it.
No one cares out here anyway
Whether your hair looks half decent or not.
Well, Ygabba cares
And Ygabba sat me down
And combed it for me;
Ran her hands through my hair
And tucked it behind my ears
And used comb teeth to work out the knots.
Only Ygabba; I'd only let Ygabba.
Then she gave me her comb
And told me to put it to good use.
I nodded, glancing at the floor.
Ygabba was barefoot.
She told me girls don't wear even socks.
I laughed…
