Teacher?

So last week I taught a class on haircare to the young women of my church. It went good (no one booed) and I think the girls enjoyed it. In the week or so prior to the class, I was pondering what exactly to teach. A color class for example would be fairly easy, I would demo the latest and greatest of the coloring techniques. And really show what application processes work for me. But I wasn't teaching a class of skilled cosmotologist, I was teaching, untrained 14-18 year olds. Haircare? Like shampoo, rinse, repeat? How hard can that be? Anyone can learn that from the back of a bottle. So I make a decision... I'm going to mold these young minds into my way of thinking. Teach a child the way they should go, and when they are old they will not depart far from it. ;) I gave them instructions on all my favorite tricks and tools. I gave them product knowlege (yes, of the best kind, Enjoy, Aquage, Chi, i'm talking 'bout you) I gave them helpful hints on how to blow dry (divide and conquer!) I even gave them some tips on how to get the perfect curl, and gave a mini demo on prom updo's. I decided (very last minute) to pull an 'Opra' style show, and gave away all the shampoo's and conditioners I had bought to show for demo! Wow! (Now i know why the girls enjoyed it) I got home feeling pretty good about myself. I'd given a farly desent leason, I felt I presented my konwlege well, and no one was texting during my ramblings. Then I found my receipts... I accidentally donated over $100.00 worth of product that night. Needless to say, I had a small case of 'givers - remorse. I'm hoping the girls enjoy the new suds, and use them faithfully.
Besides I probably would have waisted that on shoes, or a purse anyway. And frankly, I've run out of shoe cubby holes.
