220 volts
Did you know that outlets in America are 110 volts
and outlets in Europe are 220 volts?
Neither did I.
On Sunday I used the hotel’s hair dryer.
I melted my hairbrush and part of my hair.
I now have bangs.
{ I can assure you mine are not this cute }
On Monday I dug out my own hairdryer.
I heard a funny noise.
A whirring sound.
I ignored it.
And then I thought of my new bangs.
I turned my hairdryer off.
The whirring went away.
Turned it back on and heard whirring.
Looked down the barrel and saw flames.
Not needing any more bangs,
I wore a ponytail on Tuesday.
