two princesses. it's hard to be a princess with knots in our hair. we gained this most undesirable trait from our mommy. she gets knots in her hair all of the time. when we wake up we look like wild knot-haired princesses! grandma gave us a good book to help explain how this phenomena could possibly happen. it's called, "the knot fairy," by bobbie hinman.
you see, there is a little fairy who "carries a lantern and a little blue book. she's in her pajamas. come! let's take a look...when evening comes and you turn off the light...it's time to climb into bed for the night. your teeth are sparkling. your hair is brushed. and all through the house is a quiet hushhhhhhhhhhh. but while you're sleeping, here's a funny thing...a tiny fairy with purple wings...flies into your room and heads for your bed. she flaps her wings and lands right on your head! now here's a secret that i will share...she just likes to tangle your hair! she ties little knots, one after another, then flitters away to your sister or brother [and mother]. and when she's all through, as quiet as a mouse...she flaps her wings and leaves your house. she visits most all little boys and girls...whether their hair is straight or full of curls. so, if your hair goes this way and that...and you're thinking of hiding it under a hat...just look in the mirror and shout with glee, IT LOOKS LIKE THE KNOT FAIRY VISITED ME!"
thank you grandma! we love you!
