but your hair is messy

Today I picked up little Ella from school and after being in the car for about 30 seconds she goes, in her adorable little 3 year old voice,

" I didn't know you talked that like or looked like that"

...Now I have absolutely no idea what this means, I tried assuring here that I look exactly the same as when I picked her up on Monday and all the days before but she insisted it wasn't the same. Little girls are bewildering and just so wonderful.

Even when they cry and yell for a straight 20 minutes because they do not want to be woken up from their nap. ( I thought it was the other way around, That children didn't like to go down for naps but enjoyed getting back us? I guess Ella and I have much in common). I love the frank honesty of children. It's so blunt that it makes me laugh. Last week I was trying out a new light lipstick color and upon arriving at the school the first thing she asks me is " what is that on your lips?". I laughed because I felt so caught! It's similar to when little girls always ask while watching me apply make up, " why are you putting that on your face?" Sometimes I just laugh and tell them I don't know.

Today after some teary eyes and an extreme case of bedhead I asked Ella if she wanted to go brush her hair before her playdate came to pick her up. She stubbornly shook her head no and I asked why not and she looks at me goes " Why do I have to? Your hair is  very messy"
