Have you ever had a day when you thought the world was working against you? We all have good days and we all have bad days. Sometimes, though, a day can be especially bad. This kind of day, when nothing goes right, is called a bad hair day.
A bad hair day is a day when nothing seems to happen like it should. If you wake up late for work, and are tired all day, you could say you are having a bad hair day. Another example could be a day when you just feel really unlucky or you lose something really important. We all have bad hair days, we just have to hope the next day will be better.
Track star Marion Jones thinks that famous people don’t have bad hair days. She thinks that people with a lot of money have good days every day. Do you think that’s true?
