"Hair-ly" Understood

This past Wednesday I was fortunate to meet up with some of my favorite Moms. My church hosts a Moms group Wednesday mornings, and since we didn't have school, I was able to go. Two of the women there Wednesday have naturally curly hair, very curly. Another mom there is currently going to cosmetology school. For about 15 minutes, these three ladies were tossing around names, techniques, and places related to the cutting and treatment of extremely curly hair. I had NO idea what they were really saying! This is a good example of semantic noise for me. I asked a few questions that helped with clarity, but I was definitely relieved when the conversation switched to topics I was more comfortable with.
