I just found a glob of gum in my hair, and backtracked to figure out how it got there.
Let's start with yesterday: I had to run by Gringotts to sign some papers for an upcoming raid, and Fleur was in France having lunch with her parents, so I volunteered to bring Victoire with me. So I run into an old friend from school, and I'm holding her on my hip, arm around my gorgeous little girl, and I'm chewing on this piece of gum. (Yes, I am aware that you are all wondering how the gum got from my mouth to my hair so quickly) I look down at her, and see that she's just absolutely fascinated with whatever is in my mouth, and she keeps saying her words that we've been teaching her lately, and I realize that she's trying to figure out what I'm chewing on.
So while my friend sits there and laughs at her, I stick the gum between my teeth and show her what it is. She's cute, and just totally in love with the sticky pink substance, but there's no way I'm giving her any at that age, so I move on with the conversation and quickly leave afterward to preoccupy her with the next great adventure.
Day 2: Had a late night, fell asleep on the couch, had gum in my mouth. I do remember waking up at one point to this pair of pretty blue eyes staring at me from where she was leaning against the couch for balance, and I remember her touching my face and pulling on my lip, but that's it. Now, hours later, I wake up, go into the bathroom, only to see my hair in the mirror - nice and stuck to itself with my piece of gum. I know what you're all thinking, that it probably just rolled out of my mouth or something and I did it to myself, but I went to check Vicky's hand, and alas - sticky from gum residue. I'm afraid that I have already turned her into a bubble blowing teenager.
I have a giant tangle of hair on the side of my head, revolving around a piece of gum. I'm not even going to bother going to the Burrow, cause Mum will just pretend that she doesn't know a spell and announce that I'll just have to get my hair cut. Not happening.
I'm using peanut butter instead.
Otherwise, how are all of the siblings? Charlie, where the bloody hell have you run off to? I haven't heard from you in a good... day! And Ginny, you left your jacket here the other day.
