Note to the guys
Sometimes it is better to just not say anything. Ok? Got it? Good.
One of the ladies at work has had this long 70s looking Jan Brady hair since I worked here. Very pretty lady, but a bit dated looking. Well, over the weekend, she got all of it cut to shoulder length and layered. She donated her hair to Locks of Love, which was a great gesture.
But, one of the guys down the way from me said this:
Wow, D. You look ...
*insert long pause here while he was apparently thinking of what to say*
different.
Ouch. Dude. I think I could hear what was going on in his head while trying to figure out what to say:
Wow, D. You look weird. Not sure what I think about it, Hmm, guess I should try to say something positive. But, don't want to lie. Hmm. Different, yeah, that's it. I'll tell her she looks different. That's not bad. Is it? Ok. Good way to go.

Yikes.
I guess Army of Dad's method of just not saying anything may be the best way to go.
