Saving It

Charlotte: *pretending to style my hair with random things she finds around the room* And we need this. *holds up a flip-flop*

Me:  No. That is not touching my head. 

Charlotte:  Why?

Me:  Because you walk on that, and it's dirty. 

Charlotte:  *picks up another flip-flop* What about this one?

Me:  Nope. No flip-flops on my head. 

Charlotte:  Ok, we'll just save them for my turn to have my hair braided.
