Baldness in the Family...

I really wasn't sure what to title this one. It's another of last weekend's highlights, and one I had to put in writing.

Last Friday afternoon/evening the girls spent the majority of their free time playing with the season's crop of barn cats. During her shower that evening, Hanny asked Meme if they had to wash hair. Here's a recap of the conversation. Hanny's words are in blue, Meme's are in red.

"Yes, we have to wash it. You've been playing with the cats and I don't want you to catch something from them."
"You mean like worms?"
"Well, sometimes you can catch something from them called ringworms that make a circular crusty spot on your skin. If you get them in your hair it can leave a bald spot there."
"You mean like Papa?" (If you don't know Papa, he's totally bald...)
"No, not quite like that..."
"Like Dad?" (If you don't know Dad, he's got a bald spot in the back - not totally bald, just significantly balding there...)
"Well, maybe, but I don't think he had a ringworm."
"Oh."

These little minds are always working and making connections between the things they know and the things they don't quite understand. It's always something! :)
