The Curl


Lucy’s hair is now long enough that she has curls, and happens to have one in the middle of her forehead!

When I was little my parents oft quoted these lines to me:

There was a little girl,
Who had a little curl,
Right in the middle of her forehead.
When she was good,
She was very good indeed,
But when she was bad she was horrid.

I thought the lines were from one of my mom’s favorite books, Good Little Bad Little Girl by Esther and Eloise Wilkin. So last year I dug up a copy of that out of print book for her:

…only to find, nope, that wasn’t the source of those lines. Turns out it was Longfellow. So far we have not seen anything horrid from our little girl (fingers crossed!)….

Oh, and we are often asked where she got curly hair…the answer is, from me of course!

And I got it from this guy…

…her grandfather.
