asparagus braid

Recently Greta asked me to put some ponytails in her hair. For the past year she has had a bob haircut and most of her hair accessories have been headbands and clip bows. I tried to explain to her that her hair was too short but she really wanted them. So just to please I decided to give her two little ponytails by her ears. Because her hair was so short they stuck straight out from her head and she wasn't satisfied. I then turned her ponytails into little braids and she was happy. Later on that day when she was feeling her braids she piped up,
"Mom, my ponytail looks like asparagus."
"Oh? It's called a braid."
"Oh, it's an asparagus braid."
