A lift-the-flap picture – Jan 2013
D: Look – it’s you under the flap, mummy! I didn’t have time to put your hair on though.
Me: That’s lovely. The pattern on the paper looks like giraffe fur.
D: It is – I didn’t know we weren’t supposed to use the giraffe paper, but Mrs V said it was all right.
Me: We need to cut your hair.
D: Yes. Ruby told me this: If you don’t cut your hair, it will all fall off and you’ll be bald!
Me: That’s interesting, but not right.
D: It is! Ruby never jokes or lies or fibs.
Me: That’s good, but it’s still not right; your hair grows through your scalp – the top of your head – it won’t all fall off just because you haven’t cut it. You wouldn’t be able to see very well if you never cut your hair though would you?
D: No. How do YOU see?
Me: I have a fringe – this short bit at the front.
D: You’ll have to cut it soon though , otherwise it will grow and grow and go onto the floor.
