Three Years Ago Today...

Three years ago today, Cooper walked into the salon I was working in to get a hair cut. I was a nervous wreck. I remember it like it was yesterday. It was a Friday and he called to make an appointment for the following Monday. When I hung up the phone my face was beet red. Great, I thought. I had all weekend to think about this. You see, I knew who Cooper was, but he was the only person I had never been able to speak to. I had seen him on many occasions, he would speak, I would stutter and keep walking. Meanwhile, he called to change his appointment to that Friday, instead of Monday. I missed that phone call and no one gave me a warning. When he walked in the door, I felt like I used to feel before I was about to run the mile relay. He sat down in my chair and tried making conversation. It's all a blur... EXCEPT... when I tripped over his feet, fell into his lap and almost stabbed in the leg with my scissors! Almost only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades, right? He tried blaming in on his boots, they were big and bulky. I, however, know the truth. I was so dang nervous. I don't remember how his hair looked when he walked out, but it must have been decent. Three years later.. I'm still cutting it!
