Every night for our bedtime routine, we all head to Tim’s room, and after songs and prayers, Tara and I head to her room, while Daddy and Tim “rock, rock” for little bit. While the two of us are in her room waiting for Daddy (so the three of us can do songs and prayers) we have funny little conversations. Somtimes about the day. Sometimes about heavy topics like death or why we don’t always treat friends as nicely as we should. Sometimes she sings me made up songs. I could go on…
Anyway, last night she climbed into bed and felt her wet hair (from her bath), and asked when it would dry. Then she rubbed her head and said this:
“People with ball [aka bald] heads have heads that are kind of like balls. But you can’t take them off to play because they are attached to their necks.”
Um.
Yes, Tara. You’re exactly right.
It’s good to know you haven’t taught her about the ancient Mongols yet. That’s really a Big Kid subject, isn’t it.
Yes Tara…you are correct…or are you?
I say learn this trick in case the subject ever comes up again…muahhh!!

If they ever DO invent detachable heads, I’ll be first in line! Maybe my head will be completely ball by then.
Detachable heads are only useful to women – so we can check our hair in the back.
It would be a useful way for me to check the edges of my ears for hair. As it is now, I have to do it by feel.
Well, now you know that she won’t grow up to be a decapitating serial killer!
First, it sounds a bit like a Shel Silverstein poem. Perhaps it’s a good time to start some SS…
Second, I’m regularly thanking God for NOT making my head detachable. I’m spacy enough, it would seem useful to remove it, and I would LOSE it.
Lauren, do you mean hair ON your back? Cause if you detached your head, wouldn’t your hair on the back of your head and your eyes just move with it? You want detachable eyes or detachable hair (I guess you could call those wigs).
Drat my flawed logic. Yes, yes, detachable eyes….
