A Conversation for Talking Point: Domestic Disasters
Eyebrows

My aunt had ordered a hair removal wax called NAD's through a television ad, and although it was meant for legs and underarms, my cousin decided to borrow it for the purpose of shaping her eyebrows...
She put a thin line of wax below her eyebrow and one above, and when she pulled them away... needless to say, the results weren't pretty. Her entire eyebrow was GONE! So then in a moment of panic, she actually decided to wax the other one off to make it match the first one!!
Then came the moment of truth. She had to go out and face her family, who at this point was unaware of what she was up to. In an effort to conceal the catastrophe, she pulled her bangs down low on her forehead and looked down as she entered the room where her brother and parents were watching TV. "Have you been crying?" they asked her, "Because your eyes look kind of puffy." "No!" was her quick reply. But after several minutes of agonising silence, her brother blurted out "SHE DOESN'T HAVE ANY EYEBROWS!" Hiding her face in her hands she responded with a wail, "Oh, just go ahead and shoot me!"
Though the eyebrows have since grown back, the poor girl still hasn't lived this one down!
Cheers!
