Recently my daughter telephoned to suggest we meet up and go shopping to use the gift vouchers I gave her last Xmas , so yesterday I picked her up from the grandmother who was going to look after the granddaughter and set off to the out of town store . Just as we left the car the heavens opened up and by the time we made the main entrance we were pretty well soaked . This is the first time I'd been caught out in this situation wearing a wig but I knew there was no going back now as I was with my daughter . I tried to run my fingers through my hair to shake off some of the water , I had no idea what my hair or makeup looked like , I glanced around at other shoppers and many of the women were in a similar state so we just set off the check out the racks . While my daughter was in the changing rooms I needed a natural break so nipped off to the Ladies toilets , my hair was still wet but looked OK so I gave it a gentle lift with my brush , my makeup was fine .
We then had a nice chat over lunch and headed off for the children's department where I bought some clothes for my daughter to wrap as a birthday present for my granddaughter and then decided to add to the items to cover Xmas gifts .
We finally ended up in the shoe department where my daughter used her vouchers up on a pair of neat ankle boots , she also chose some slippers so I paid the outstanding balance , my daughter told me that she would treat them as an early Xmas present . What another lovely day it was but dare I also add a perfectly normal one spent with my wonderful daughter .
We often talk about the practicalities of wearing a wig but despite the soaking it worked fine , being out as a woman means just that come rain or shine .
