“Mamma, I can’t find her hair brush!”
“Her hair brush?”
Silly of me to ask.
The doll’s nylon hair was standing on end, horrifically tangled and slightly gummy on one side. It was clear her grooming had been a tad bit overlooked.
“You’ll have to sort this one out on your own,” I said gently, before mentally adding, “….seeing that you were most likely the cause of this tendril travesty.”
I handed over a wide toothed comb and quickly extracted myself from the sticky scenario. I actually managed to enjoy a few moments to myself twittering around before my suspicions were aroused.
I suppose the endless running water should have sounded my alarm.
Not sure why the muffled giggles emanating from the upstairs bathroom didn’t quickly prick my ear.
What finally did lure me in was my three year’s old request for more of my fancy conditioner.
More?
In the end, the rest of my day was spent mopping a soapy floor and setting a dolly’s hair with my new hair curlers.
I figure, if she’s going to use half a bottle of my most expensive conditioner, we might as well give her the whole salon package.
Besides, there’s nothing like mile high hair on a naked Happy Holidays Barbie.

Volume in holiday haired barbies has always been severely undervalued. Kudos to your daughter for bringing it to our attention. :)
At least they didn't chop off her hair. I once cut the hair off my barbie thinking I was doing it to my crappy doll and turned out it was my GOOD doll! I was sooo upset!
Wow that Barbie is getting some nice treatment over there, mind if I send over all my Barbies? :)
Hahahahaha! Love this post!
Reminds me of when my son was young...I thought I had a moment of peace and found that he had spread the dish soap all over the kitchen floor and was "ice skating".
I discovered that dish soap is very hard to clean up off the floor.
:-)
Perhaps Santa will bring Barbie her own bottle of conditioner for Christmas!
My barbies hair was always tangled.
Obviously, your house is the *new* Barbie Dream House! Do you serve coffee and croissants too?!
