Yesterday, I complimented a little 6-year old girl's very meticulous and beaded cornrows as we washed our hands in the bathroom.

She shouted at me as I was leaving, "I LIKE YOUR HAIR TOO!"

Then she paused and, staring at the two motley, tornado-esque bird's nests on the back of my head, said, "That must have taken a long time to do."

For a second, I actually suspected her of scathing sarcasm but then realized that she was only 6-years old and probably doesn't even know what sarcasm is yet.

I am still a bit suspicious though.
