One morning Pegs walks up to me in high school and here was the exchange:
Pegs: "Hey, do you notice something different?"
Me: "What? Did you get your hair cut?"
Pegs: "Nope" (bats her eyes)
Me: "New makeup?"
Pegs: "No" (closes her eyes)
Me: "Holy crap! What happened to your eyelashes?!?"
Pegs: "I was curling my eyelashes and went to get something from my room and tripped over the hairdryer cord and ripped out half my lashes..."
OUCH!
Its 18 years later and every time I curl my lashes, I remember this story :)

Thanks for sharing that story, Rachna; it's a good one. Pegs mentioned it to me several times, especially whenever she was curling her lashes (which wasn't often). She was always careful not to let Sofia play with her eyelash curler, which I understood given her history, but I always thought it was a bit funny considering the low probability that she would repeat Pegs' mistake.
I remember that day. I heard a little scream and ran to see what happened. As hard as it was I kept from laughing since Panagiota (just as any teenager) was so upset about having to go to school like that.
Years later she lost her eyelashes again with chemo.
A "little" scream? Good lord, if that happened to me (unlikely, since I'm very careful to stand perfectly still while curling my eyelashes), I would be screaming like a banshee. Also, do all Alexandropouloses laugh at the pain of others? I'm starting to notice a trend here....
Don't worry Nik, the laughing at pain thing is also a Patel trait!
