In reply to: My little brother's reaction to henna... posted by Rachael O. on November 5, 2001 at 22:47:36:

I think it's got its own cuteness when boys, especially younger ones,
like or want henna. You know, they see it on a girl, but still like
it. My young cousin of about 10 told me when I asked him if he wanted
some henna (they are used to my drawn upon self) that he didn't think
his dad would like that. (Dad is pretty much an arrow-like conserva-
what's-that-foreign-stuff-tive) Later on though he asked me if I
thought I could do a lightning bolt on him. A yet younger female
cousin was too happy for words when I did some dolphins on her hand.
I was concerned about the weight of one of my dolphins- he was kind
of hefty, but she was far too busy grinning to notice. She's pretty
shy, so the whispered "I like it" convinced me that the dolphin was
just big-boned. =)

: I was over my father's house yesterday, and my 6 year old (half)
: brother was asking about the henna design I have on my left palm.
So,
: I explained in a rather simple way, what the whole process
involves.
: He was really interested, asking if you traced the designs, and
what
: other kinds of the designs you can do with henna. He asked if you
: can draw dinosaurs with it, and I said that you could probably do
: almost any kind of design. Then he asks, "Can you send me the
: ingredients for that?". I said I'd make some paste and then come
over
: and we could make up designs on his hand or arm. That made him
happy.
: I just thought his question was so cute, that I had to share it
with
: you all. I was also wondering if anyone else on the forum has had
: cute reactions like that from kids that they'd want to share.
