Raising Eyebrows

Date of occurrence:
December 30, 2016.

The kids will be spending New Year with us and after they arrive Friday evening, we are having a ball. We eat, play, talk, enjoy each others company and before we know it, it is already bedtime.

When Leo and Emmaly got here on Christmas Day, the first thing I noticed were Emmaly's eyebrows. It looked like they were half shaven off. I asked her if she shaved them, but she denied it and said she woke up one day and they were like that.

I didn't buy it, but after Mom looked at them and mentioned they had just gotten lighter, I let it go.

While I am tucking Emmaly in, I run my fingers over her eyebrows. I can clearly feel stubble and jokingly I say: "Honestly Emma, are you sure you didn't shave them off?"

She hides half of her face under the blankets and shakes no.

I know something is up and I smile at her: "Really? You didn't shave them?"

She shakes no again. Her hand goes up to one of her eyebrows and she makes a clipping motion with her fingers.

Me: "Oooh, you cut them with scissors!"
Emmaly: "Yeah. It was an accident. I cut one of my eyebrows just to see and then I had to do the other one too."
Me: "What did Amy and Daddy say after you did that?"
Emmaly: "They didn't even notice."

After telling her not to do that again, our little Princess goes off to see Mr. Sandman. I have a slight suspicion I know his reaction when he sees her.

He will probably raise his eyebrows!
