Noodle Heads

Happy Valentine's Day, everyone!

Today, my son and I are sporting a new look:  Hair noodles.  (No, I'm not providing pictures of this new look, because I know they will end up plastered all over the internet!)

"Mama," my son said.  "Can I have some spaghetti noodles?"

"What for?" I asked.

"You'll see."

I gave him one of my squinty-eye looks and gave him a few uncooked noodles.

He promptly inserted one into his hair.  Somehow it stayed in place.  He added another, then another.  "I'm a noodle-head, Mama.  Do you want to be a noodle-head?"

"Um, not really," I said.

"Bend down.  I'm going to add some noodles to your hair."

I knew I wasn't going to get out of this.  I stooped down, and he inserted about five noodles into my long tresses.

My boy stepped back to inspect his work. "You look great, Mama.  I think it's the best hair style I've ever seen on you!"

Great.  (I guess I should be grateful they're not snakes!)

  10. Please post photos. Think of them going all over the place as publicity for your books.

    Love,

    1. Hahaha! I'm not sure that's the publicity I want, but you probably have a point. ;0)

  11. Actually, that is a very good idea! You'd have to use the curly type, and they could be painted. Spaghetti would be bad.
