I am so glad you enjoyed the video clips. There's bunches of them for anyone interested and each are just a few minutes long.
I'm also glad you mentioned "roaches," the head pieces, not the bugs. I had forgotten about this story.
We were at a Thanksgiving weekend Pow-wow and the weather was nasty, cold and drizzley. The Dance Circle was set up with hay bales inside one of the buildings at the fairgrounds. And there were more haybales for seating. The building was packed shoulder to shoulder with spectators. My daughter was about 7 and standing on a haybale right in front of me. Even with our heads next to each other, we still had to talk loudly.
Two older ladies were standing next to us when I said to my daughter, "Look at that beautiful roach." The ladies went hysterical and started stomping and squealing.
It took us several minutes to convince them we were not talking about bugs and hadn't seen any.
