Last night we were joined for Easter dinner by my nephew John and Maya’s friend Allison who also spent the night while her parents were out of town. This morning I discovered Maya with flattened hair in the process of braiding Allison’s hair. Apparently all girls with curly hair prefer straight hair and all girls with straight hair prefer curly hair. This is an enigma to someone whose daily hair maintenance routine consists of waking up. My lack of understanding of female hair styling rituals did not compromise my ability to recognize a good photo opportunity. After trying some shots on the deck, I decided the sun porch would make a better setting. I addressed complaints about the cold tile floor with large insulators which did not come from the couch. My plan was to crop the photo from the waist up. In the end, I preferred this full-body view complete with foot warmers.
