A childhood belief about hair

Im 31 and had this belief until I was 24
(cause I'm an idiot!) I used to think that all afros were wigs. When I was young I never new any young person with a fro. Only adults.Being that all my relatives did not have that type of hair,I could never understand exactly how human hair could get into that shape & texture.The little boy on Seseme Street with a fro even deapened the mystery. Years went by and I saw a James Bond monvie (Live & let Die) Where a spy woman rips her afro off and throws it on a bed. Well case solved all afros were wigs, and the little boy on sesame street had to look his best and wear a wig for the camera!!!!!!!!!!!!! Since the case was closed I never gave it another thought. Until five years ago when a friend's brother grew one. My dawn of reckoning..............
