Just because I'm blonde, I'm not stoopid!

Have you ever tripped over a cordless phone? Have you ever fallen up steps? Do your friends make fun and call you a blonde? Well, I'd just like to say that you are not alone!
The blonde cases reach from mild to severe. Some people have what they call blonde moments. These only occur naturally and seldomly, but shouldn't be taken lightly. You, as well as anyone, can put yourself at risk for serious injury. I advise you to have yourself checked out for a blonde brain!

OK, even if you are not a true blonde, you could have a blonde brain. This is a more mild case than blonde moments. Many people out there have a blonde brain. For some, their hair color explains it all. Fake or natural, it still tells everyone around what you are and aren't capable of. But, of course, at least you're not a severe case of blondeness.

Then, of course, there is the main problem of which I am to talk. If you are a severe, full-fledged blonde, I know how you feel! There is no help at this point. The blonde suggestions, comments, or just not understanding anything at all is all the symptoms combined. These symptoms come and go, but they strike at any time. So be prepared at all times!

One main problem with being a severe blonde case is that sometimes it can get the best of you. Trust me. I know this. Sometimes you just can't help the fact that you don't understand what's going on until hours later. Then you realize that you missed the joke. Not fun is it?

Well, I have some ways on trying to cover-up your blondness. First things first, if you can, dye your hair. Change it to a light brown or red. That may make those silly stereotypical comments from people go away. Another way would be to act like you understand what's going so you don't look like a total idiot. Try to keep your expressions look like you totally understand everything and anything.

The last thing that may help to hide your blondeness is to watch your step. Try to make sure you don't trip over everything all the time. I should know, I trip all the time: at school, at home, and in public. Yes, I know, it's embarrassing. I just recently tried to start wearing regular shoes as in not wearing 4 inch heels! (Believe me, it works!)

So in saying this, I can say that I am a blonde, and proud of it! In turn of the points of being stupid, I don't think that we blondes are in fact stupid. We are part of the population and our brains have just as much smarts as the rest of you all...we just can't find them yet.
