His Pride Took A Hit

Years ago when Max had long hair, he used to pull it back with a cool skull and cross bones “doo-rag.” Under this cool-ness was a secret. He had to use one of my barrettes to hold back his hair. At his job was a new employee, she was young and very pretty. One day at work, he noticed her staring at him, she motioned for Max to come over. Thinking to himself 'I still got it,' he sauntered over. She leaned in close and whispered in his ear, “your barrette is showing.” Crash and burn baby. His pride took a hit that day. That's OK Hun, I think you still 'have it.'
