This morning, Nick asked for a pencil--I pulled one out of my hair for him.

Later, Lily asked for a bookmark--I pulled one out of my hair for her.

Later, Duncan asked if anybody had a spare hairtie--I made him cup his two hands together, filled his hands with all the things currently in my hair, took the scrunchie out of my hair, twisted my hair back up and anchored it with pencils, put all my stuff back in it, and gave him the scrunchie.

Later, Mom asked for a permanent marker--I pulled one out of my hair for her.

Later, Ben said he was feeling snacky, did anybody have anything to eat. I do not, I must admit, actually keep food in my hair. But I did have novelty kitkats in my pocket, and I did get bored the other day and spend a little time on my sleight of hand.

I pulled one, two, three kitkats out of my hair for him.

#yapping tag #that's the whole family folks! the bingo card is full!#it was fucking satisfying too I gotta say #extra extra bonus points too for not only the absurdity of pulling multiple pieces of candy 'out of my hair' but unusual candies at that #(kitkats in cheesecake chestnut and wheat-cracker flavors)#also as a point of clarification I do want to say I don't intentionally stock my hair with useful objects #that would be weird even for me #but having the family here while their school's on break means welcoming a certain amount of chaos into our lives #and basically all the little easily-lost things I find in inopportune places around the house I stow away on my person #until I can put them somewhere more secure #but then if we're on the move (as we almost always are) I don't get that chance to secure them until everybody else conks out at night #so they have to stay stowed on me #and I don't carry a bag or anything so whatever isn't convenient to put in my pockets--mostly all the long pointy things--goes into the hair #other things in my hair this week have included: dry erase markers galore. magnets. an entire pocketknife. straws. a cat toy. a spoon.#my pockets have been pretty continuously full of dice and chocolates and puzzle pieces and pieces of coal #(real pieces of coal and not for Christmas reasons either. Duncan brings them back from when he goes walking in the river)#if it were warmer Duncan would be in his cargo shorts and I'd be stowing things on him instead but alas
