Pigtails... how hard could they be?

This was more difficult than he had anticipated.

He told you he could handle it. I mean, it was just pigtails. You needed the rest; you had been so tired lately. But every time James attempted to part her hair, it always ended up crooked.

It took you at least 5 minutes to do pigtails, and they never looked like this. He tried again, carefully parting his little girl's hair down the middle, pulling the hair away to see if it was straight.

"Daddy, can't you just ask mommy for help?" His five-year-old perked up, those blue eyes mirroring his looking back at him.

"No no, I got it... I just need to fix it..." He mumbled, concentrating as he successfully pulled the hair into two separate pigtails. He thought he had done a good job.

"Daddy, you aren't very good at this..." She stood in the mirror. They were uneven; one was higher than the other.

"Well... I think it looks fine..." he mumbled sheepishly.

"Can I ask mommy pretty please?" She looked up at him with those big eyes, and like always, he folded.

"Yeah yeah..." he sighed, watching her scurry off to the bedroom where you slept, following behind her.
