Sound of the shrieking eels

Isn’t she cute in the new outfit Gramma Cheryl made? Just like a sweet little lamb. Aww.

Who’d suspect such a sweet pixie of being able to produce banshee wails? I suppose anyone who has been around when she was getting her hair washed. We only wash her hair every week or two. Sometimes longer if our ears are feeling particularly sensitive and her hair still looks fine. I don’t know what the deal is. We’ve tried giving her lots of warning, and we’ve tried springing it on her. We’ve washed the dollies’ hair, our hair, Gramma’s hair to show her it’s okay. We’ve tried the shower, tub, and sink. (When the weather warms up, we’ll try a hose.) We’ve used tearless shampoo and magic green fairy shampoo. What’s next? Maybe swim goggles? Sedatives? Earplugs (for us)?
