Jesus, Lord, somebody help me, I'm being bludgeoned to death!

I braid my hair at night so that I can have wavy hair during the day. I secure this mass braiding together with a series of elastic bands.

Last night, in the middle of sleep, one of my elastics snapped, but because I was in deep sleep, the shock of the bang and the slap on my head made me scream and jump out of my sleep. I thought someone had broken into my bedroom in the middle of the night and smacked me upside the head. So there's me screaming. Then the dog started barking. The barking woke the children. There was all this commotion going on simply because of a hair style. The shame of it!

It's the most excitement I've had all week. That and being vigorously frisked by a burly male doorman on Monday night!
