“Can I have some gummy worms mommy?”

“No Juliet. We only have money for instant noodles today. And besides, gummy worms are bad for your teeth.”

“But I likesss them mommy!”

When I was a toddler I always gave my mom a hard time in the store. I didn’t really understand that we were poor and what it really meant when people lived in a trailer park. I thought they were just fun, cool boxes and we were all just one big happy family.

Everyone loved me there – I think I was everyone’s favorite kid. The thing they loved most about me though was my hair. It was soft, golden and looked exactly like the perfect hair in the shampoo commercials even though we had no money for hair products most of the time. The strangest thing about my hair was that it wouldn’t stop growing!

While most babies were born looking like bald headed aliens, I was born with a perfect head of hair. By the time I was a week old, my hair was longer than I was. My mom would have to cut it off every morning after my bath but by the next day, it would have already grown back.

Eventually I used my hair to take us out of the trailer park and into Beverly Hills – but you have to keep watching to find out how!

No one knew why my hair kept growing and growing. Sometimes my mom would let it get really long for fun and this was exciting for everyone in the trailer park. The women liked to try different silly hairstyles on me. Or sometimes they’d let the neighborhood kids play games with it.
