Future hairstylist???

Some have heard this story, but some have not and it is a pretty good one.

The day before her 2nd birthday (and just 4 days before her party), Emma decided to do her own hair. She was at the sitters house where they have been doing some remodeling. The construction guys knocked a shelf down in one of her daughters rooms but Kristie did not hear it fall. On that shelf was the powder and the vasoline. Emma and the other girls had tried the powder before so they decided to try the vasoline. Emma thought it would look good in her hair, so that is where it went. She came down the hall to show Kristie - put one hand on her hip, stood there and said "Pretty". Kristie, of course, kinda freaked out (which I completely understand), but did manage to laugh. Now, since they were remodeling, things around the house are kind of torn up - like the bathroom tub. So she put Emma in the kitchen sink and washed her hair - a few times. After she had used a couple different shampoos and some dish soap it was better, but she still resembled a little grease monkey. Her sister is a hair dresser ,so she called her - "Cornstarch" she told her. So this is a picture Kristie took of Emma with cornstarch in her hair. She ended up having her hair washed 8 times that day. It took 4 days and numerous washings with shampoo, dish detergent and a few cornstarch treatments before it began to look like her hair again. Luckily, by the time her party came around if you didn't know what happened you really couldn't tell. I still laugh when I see this picture.
