Six’s guide to hair

by Mothership on September 27, 2013

This will be a short post as I am extremely busy writing my novel and eating a bowl of Shreddies.  Possibly more busy with the latter but it doesn’t sound as important as the former though those of you who like breakfast cereal will agree that Shreddies can be somewhat addictive and absorbing.

Six has become extremely attentive to hair of late. His own and other peoples’.

The other day we sat around outside on the deck eating supper and an annoyingly persistent fly kept landing on Husband’s head. We failed to find a swatter or any bug spray and much hilarity ensued when Husband literally thwacked himself on the head with a rolled up newspaper. The fly, however, escaped.

Husband said “The flies just love me, I must be delicious. They can’t keep away from me, can they?”

Six said, thoughtfully “Well, your head does look a lot like a coconut.”

*choke snigger gasp*

But it wasn’t quite so funny yesterday when, after taking a shower and washing my admittedly quite dirty hair, Six sniffed my shin and said, approvingly, that he liked the new moisturiser I had bought on a recent trip to England. I was pleased by this, but then he sniffed my damp hair and said

“Your hair smells like cheesy squares.”

These are the mini ravioli that I give him for supper when I can’t think of anything else to cook. They are not the sort of scent one would put in a hair product. I must have looked appalled because he said, hurriedly,

“But it’s okay, I like cheesy squares! Can I have them for supper?”

I rushed off to the bathroom to rewash my hair, and several shampoos later emerged for a second sniffer test. Six said it was much better which was a huge relief.

“You usually look okay, mummy, but it’s not very nice when your head smells like socks”

Indeed.
