Don't be alarmed

Please don't be alarmed if ever you are passing by and you hear a wailing coming from inside the house that sounds as if someone is getting their toes pulled off one at a time.
It's just Emma getting her hair brushed.  She insists keeping it long.  I insist it is brushed at least every other day.  The wailing continues.  Perhaps it would not be so tangled if she wasn't so speedy on her Big Wheel, if she didn't run and jump and play in the mud or if she allowed the braid or ponytail to stay in.  But then childhood wouldn't be as much fun without those things, would it?
