the first time you ever encountered dreadlocks

When I was pregnant with my daughter (who is about to turn 6 on Saturday) I met a woman who had dreads. Her son and my son (they were 3 at the time) played a lot together at the park. She and I started talking and at the time I didn't know she had dreads because she always had them covered. One day she came over to my house and took off her had to scratch her heads. That was the first time I ever saw dreads and I instantly fell in love with them. lol

I tried dreads a few times since then and always took them out for some reason before they turned 3 months. The set I have now is almost 9 months old and I don't see myself removing them any time soon.
