Popularity Pros and Combs

Connie seemed to know everyone. She couldn’t go anywhere without running into someone she knew. Her family would tease her saying, “Why don’t you stay in the car. We are in a hurry and can’t risk you finding a friend.” It was so much that even on every vacation, hundreds of miles from home they would run into Connie’s friends. One afternoon, Connie was in the produce section of the grocery store, and saw a woman in the bakery looking intently at her. She was seemingly determining from where she knew her. Connie couldn’t quite place the connection either. So she steered her cart down toward the bakery to figure it out. The closer she came the harder the woman stared. But when she was nearly there the woman took off rather quickly. Connie left the store unsatisfied. She wanted to figure out who the woman was. When she got home she stopped by the mirror and noticed that there were 2 rather large combs sticking out of her hair. She had picked up the house before leaving and had stuck the combs in her hair to free her hands for other items. The woman had not been trying to figure out a past acquaintance, she had been trying to determine if it was really combs in Connie’s hair and if by some freak chance this was a new and lasting style.
