Getting Ready With a 5-Year-Old

This morning was like every other morning. I am getting ready and Noah wanders in and out of the bathroom, talking, getting ready, watching some morning TV (nothing educational in the morning mind you! pure trash). I was doing my hair. My hair is short, I tuck it behind the ears, nothing fancy, I never look at the back. So I tell Noah that I am going to have a plain hair do day. He asks me what that means. I tell him that I am not going to do anything to the front of it, just tuck it (sometimes I do something with some molding good or whatever it may be called). He then proceeds to tell me this. Mom the back of your hair looks like fire and the front like fresh mowed grass. Now my hair is not red, yellow or orange and it is not hot, so how it resembles fire, I have no idea. The front is not a shade of green, so NO idea how it resembles freshly mowed grass. However, I thought for a few seconds and realized that because the back will sometimes stick out a bit that it must look like flames, and the front, parted, flat, and tucked, naturally that resembles mowed grass. Noah then tells me I look pretty.

How Sweet It Is!!!
