Dear Aunt Ash,

We don't typically wear headbands. Every time mom tries to put one on us, we take them right out and either brake them or hide them. Because of this, we have a whole drawer full of headbands that never get worn. It's unfortunate, that's the way it is.

When we got the headbands that you made for us, mom was sure that we'd never want to wear those ones either. In fact, she was so sure of it that they went right into the headband drawer (a.k.a. - the headband black hole)...until last week.

Mom was fixing her hair for the gym. She usually wears a snappy top knot to the gym. It's mostly for fashion (oh, wait, it's not one of the cute topknots - mom's gym hair is kinda scary). Well, when I (Sammie) saw the potential there, I immediately asked for a trendy top knot myself. Not to brag, but I was looking pretty fierce.  But there was something missing. I ran to the much neglected headband drawer and brought mom one of your headbands. She put it in for me (although she was sure I'd take it right out). She was wrong though. I wore it all.day.long. Sucka!

Not only did I wear it, I ROCKED it! I wore it at least 3 different ways and loved every second of it.

When I (Josie) saw that my sister got to wear an awesome headband I immediately wanted one too. No reason both Smith girls can't be fierce. I chose a snappy striped one. It's my favorite. Mom tried to put it in my hair, but she kept doing it wrong. I swear, sometimes she has no idea what she's doing. She's kind of embarrassing. I wanted to wear mine like a pirate. Because we all know how fashion forward pirates are. After getting it adjusted correctly, I wore mine proudly all day long too.

I looked awesome (but, let's face it, I look awesome every day - it's just hard to have an off day when you look like this)!

Here's the proof:

Thanks Aunt Ash. We wear headbands now because of you. You're the best!
Love,
Josie and Sammie
