A childhood belief about appearance

When I was a freshman in high school my friends knew that I had Amish friends. One day I was telling this girl named Megan all about Amish living. For some reason I made up a story on the spot about how young Amish boys use the afterbirth of a cow as hair gel. I tolg her after the cow gives birth, the Amish wait until the afterbirth comes out and the scoop it into a jar. Then they seal it with wax and put it in the icebox until it thickens. The they just crack the wax and dip their comb in the jar and swipe some on thier heads like Dapper Dan.
On our senior trip she was talking about this story to me. I finally told her after four years that I made it up.
