Yesterday evening, my parents were baby siting my niece and nephew while my brother and sister-in-law were eating out. The night went on as usual with very little excitement taking place, that is, until my mom started brainstorming... My niece, Naomi, is six months old, the awkward age when babies are cute but have the unfortunate phase of hair lose. Naomi is no exception to this phase and has tufts of long dark hair sporatically placed on her furry head. After a few minutes of quiet thinking coming from my mom, she said she had a brilliant idea. Mom then proceeded to take Naomi upstairs, leaving my other brother, dad, and myself to wonder what she was going to do. A little time had based when we began to hear my mom laughing hysterically as she came down the stairs. The rest of us instantly started laughing also when we saw Naomi's moose-filled hair.
After a couple of us said she looked like she was electrocuted, the evil plot began to expand. My mom sat Naomi down next to an outlet and we gave her an extension cord for her to fling around and to chew on. This is the point of the night that all of us were laughing to the point of tears. I knew that this had to be documented, so I quickly got my iPhone and took some photos. I then proceeded to send an image to my sister-in-law, who immediately replied saying that she was going to call child protective services (she was joking of course).
The most amusing part was how oblivious little Naomi was. She continued to laugh and smile as usual, even while she was being set up for lifelong embarrassment. I think this image below will never be forgotten and will prove to provide us with many laughs in the future, although maybe not to Naomi when she is old enough to understand... poor child.
DISCLAIMER: No children were harmed in the production of the photo below.
