[quote=Anonymous]Recap of our last episode:  In our last episode, My Borderline Mother (MBM) needed a haircut, but claimed that there were no hairdressers to be found in New York City.  None. Not a one.  Not one single hairdresser in New York City (or seemingly Brooklyn or any of the Outer Boroughs) could give her a straight, blunt bob haircut.  She had tried, but it simply couldn't be done.  In a state of learned helplessness and collapsed boundaries, she turned to me and insisted that she needed an appointment with my hairdresser in Silver Spring, MD -- obviously a mecca of hairstyling.  Why?  &gt;He seems to know how to do hair.&quot;  On her last visit to town, I paid for her to get a haircut not with my hairdresser, but with another haircutter in that salon.

In this weeks epsode, MBM calls and importunes me yet again to make an appointment with &quot;Jean-Louis&quot; (pseudonym). Why?  The haircut with &quot;Mabel&quot; (pseudonym) simply &quot;didn't work for her&quot; (although she loved it at the time).  Why will a haircut with Jean-Louis work any better than a haircut in NYC?  She will come down, get her haircut by Jean-Louis, and use it as a model for haircutters in NYC. (??).  Why not just take the $$$ she would spend on plane fare + $$ on Jean Louis and go to a high end salon in NYC?  No answer!

And that concludes today's thrilling episode of...My Borderline Mother![/quote]
