Mater

My nine month old grandson - like all other babies his age - likes to pull hair.

[More:]

Carry him close, expect the worst. Best tie your hair back out of his grasp.

His mum was carrying him down the stairs the other morning and he grabbed hold of her long hair both sides and pulled - hard - making her cry out.

Oops! Looking at her with his big eyes, he let her hair go, took his dummy out and popped it straight into his mum's mouth. They're not called comforters for nothing!
When she laughed, he quickly retrieved it, but not before giving her a big kiss.

I think that served well as a 'sorry, mummy'!
