French Twist

1996 Memory

Sacha (five years old) and I are at the hair salon I am looking at a magazine.

Sacha is checking out his surroundings.

The women waiting, are admiring his curls and English vocabulary.

"Mommy do you know how to say, "haircut" in French?" Sacha has something up his sleeve, I can tell by that twinkle of mischief in his eye.

 

"Oh no, I don't!" I pretend.

"Do you want me to tell you how to say, haircut?"

"Yes, Sacha that would be helpful please tell me." 

He leans in closely, whispers in my ear, "Just say, rouge!"

—————————–

Rouge, means "red" in French.

Rouge, was the "it" color to dye one's hair.

Red was Sacha's favorite color.
