Vivi has a riotous head of fine, curly hair. It can get a little bit snarled up while she sleeps. My sister dubbed her “Sideshow Bob” one morning when we went to New York:
A few months back, I wrote about the magical silliness that happened when Daddy Went to the Grocery Store. This time, he went to the beauty supply aisle. God help us all. Here’s what happened…
G is convinced that Vivi’s hair will remain silky through the night if she sleeps in a sleeping cap. Remember those? I sure do. My Grandmama Eunice wore one every night to keep her hair fixed. I was thinking of something like this:
Granted, the pink one is pretty grandmotherly–that’s too prim and fussy for a first grader. But I know they make sleeping caps for kids too, something cute and practical like this:
That’s what I thought we were talking about when he said he had picked up a sleeping cap for Vivi while he was at Kroger.
I didn’t really expect this:
What…was she robbing a 7-11 and stopped to take a nap?
It reminds me of that scene in Raising Arizona:
The one when Hi robs the convenience store and Ed gets so mad she drives off so he has to carjack some old man who says, “Son? You got a panty on your head.”
Tonight, she told me it’s comfortable, so she wants to sleep in it. But she thought it was a little plain, so she duded it up with some St. Patrick’s Day leftovers:
There you go.
freaking adorable! (Him and her), you’re a lucky woman!
love it!!! might try one myself.
hahahaha…the boys will just pluck it off your head and take turns running around in it!
Oh my. That was OUR line for years around the house–“Son you got a panty on your head.” (better that you don’t ask) We got a great shot of Aub when she was little–she had put a pair of clean underoos on her head. Love this story. And love that she loves it even more.
