Silly (Putty) Head

Last night when I tucked Megan into her bed I found that she was playing with Silly Putty in her bed. Silly Putty is a staple at the lake house - it is excellent material to create impromptu ear plugs for swimming. I took the Silly Putty out of her hands and placed it on her nightstand, telling her that it would be very, very bad if she fell asleep with Silly Putty in the bed.

I should have removed it from the room. This is what she looked like when she woke up this morning:

Actually, it may be hard to see, but that orange interspersed with Megan's blond locks is Silly Putty.

At first I thought it was going to have to be cut out and Megan would end up with the pixie cut she has never wanted. But my mother saved the day. Armed with a bottle of olive oil, a fine tooth comb, and more patience than a saint she managed to get it all out.
