Have you ever had someone say something to you that is just so far fetched that after you pick up your jaw you just have to look at them and smile 'cause there is nothing you can say and there's no point in being rude? I had that happen yesterday. If you can’t tell from my photo I’ve got blue eyes, pale skin and long blonde hair (the photo was taken at last year’s CA state fair).
Yesterday I was at the California State Fair giving a spinning demonstration during the Heritage Sheep Show & judging. People seemed to be very interested and there was often a big crowd watching. It was fun to show little kids especially, how fiber is spun into thread and plied to make yarn.
At one point in the afternoon a woman approached me to tell me it was just wonderful that “you Native American’s are keeping your traditions alive.”
I just had to keep that big laugh inside as I looked at her and smiled because she really was being nice. I just flipped my hair back and kept on spinning.
Have ya’ll had an experience like this? Please share if you have.
