huh?

So it's no surprise to anyone that my little Mary is sporting some pretty fabulous curls on her head. I love them, I adore them....I seriously think they're just so. darn. cute. And, evidently, so does the general public. Everywhere we go we get comments on "those curls." People love to talk about her crazy hair and how adorable it is.

This morning was no different. I had to get an oil change so Mary and I dropped off the minivan and walked to McDonalds for a coffee and some breakfast while we waited. As I ordered my McGriddle this old, grandmotherly woman took my money. She, of course, commented on Mary.

"Oh my...isn't she just darling? How cute is she?!?!? And those curls...wow....tell me, are they natural?"

Huh?!?! Are they natural? I was just so confused? Did she think we permed her hair? Or that it was a wig? What does that mean, "are they natural"? Bewildered I just muttered "yes" to which she responded, "You know, I thought so!"

Weird, weird people.

What? We get Ava's hair colored AND straightened. hahaha

LMAO..."are the natural!"

Maybe she meant...did you curl them with rollers or the curiling iron? That's as close to sane as I can get on that one.

People have been asking me if i curl mattie's hair since she was 6 months old. 1. Have they ever tried to hold a small child down to even BRUSH their hair..curl it? i don't think so. 2. am i just made of spare time?

On the other hand, my grandmother used to put my mom's hair in rag curlers when she was small (1-2 years) for special occasions like pictures or parties. so i guess it could be done?

-i did get asked if mattie's hair was real when she was like 3 months old...baby wigs, maybe your next business?
