How they develop?&nbsp;Inside or outside?<br /><br />When one sees a babe born almost bald, most assuredly (certainly) curl-less...then watches&nbsp;the miracle of curl occur over those&nbsp;post-birth months...one must ask then...WHERE does this tendency come from?<br /><br />This is a pictorial journal of the coming of age of a curl, beginning almost at birth and ending oh? shortly after she turns two!&nbsp;Two and a half? Ah...who knows!<br /><br />It will not only include 'Ayvah's' curl anatomy, but might even have a bit of mine...some of her dad's...her Aunt Toby's #1 in line...(there are&nbsp;three in THIS family who've gone from straight to curly) and&nbsp;the second and third are straights...the fourth was born curly...VERY curly, and the fifth is just as curly in the end!....one just sort of 'all of a sudden!'&nbsp;&nbsp;became seriously curly at some period during her still-young but elder&nbsp;life. As did mine, she went to super curly after the births of her own three children! They will be 'invited' to comment both to me so I can include their testimony in this journal, and so that I can include photos of them here.&nbsp;<br /><br />To begin...I am Irish/Welsh(Scotch descent)/English and a tad of French. These I know of...because we've done the entire Bishop AND McCann lineage right up to today! The fathers of my children...one is of German-ish/Pennsylvaniarish descent.... <font color="#993366"><strong><em>and that I'm not sure of as </em></strong><strong><em>no</em></strong><strong><em> one in that family seemed to care about descendency/curls/</em></strong><span style="font-size: large"><span><strong><em>whatever</em></strong></span></span><strong><em> ancestry might have brought to the table of heads</em></strong></font>...and the second part of these curlies, of Sicilian/something else descent...neither posed no certain guarantees of curlity. Most assuredly, the Italian did produce two fine curly-headed sons,&nbsp;an amazing extravagance of&nbsp;curls! The first dad, well? I don't know IF his line had curls but he sired the eldest who has beautiful-ly heavenly curls, so now I will&nbsp;lay claim to my <span style="font-size: medium">own</span> input here...OBVIOUSLY...the consistency TO curl comes from <em><strong>MY</strong></em> side of the family!&nbsp;No doubt whatsoever!Three of five&nbsp;heads have&nbsp;curls.&nbsp;Two remain&nbsp;straight!<br /><br />When I was born, in 1943 smack in the middle of WWII, I had <u><span style="font-size: medium">little</span></u> hair.

OF COURSE this brings on much loud noise akin to 'ome...'ome...nannie 'ome...which, roughly translated means...Nana, you have NO damn business going home...you LIVE here, ya hear? Furthermore...I have to yaknow...pee? before I leave and she accompanies me TO the bathromm and proceeds to take away the toilet paper...ah, yes...she takes it and PUTS it away where I can't find it! BUT...there's a good ending to this part...I do know where the extrrras are kept! And she watches while I carry on! ONLY to go out to the doorway, say goodbye, get wonderful kisses when I promise to come back NEXT weekend...then, go to pick up my suitcase...sure, we have to pick it up to find out that she's boobytrapped THAT too! AND as a result, MY clothes go allll overrrr the flooooooor! while she stands there, gawking! 'Bout this time, Michael and Hannah, who've been laughtering mightily all along...accuse AVAkins of trying to stop her nahnie from leaving...to which I scoop up one little girl, give her great big hugs and squeezes and promise to be back NEXT weekend.<br /><br />HOPE YOUR weekend was slightly calmer!
