bed head

my grandmother is writing a memoir of sorts, and she gave me a sneak preview a few weeks ago. i'm the only one privileged enough to view it before she publishes. its contents include photographs, poems, anecdotes, family trees, etc. somehow, despite my mom being the black sheep of the family, my grandmother has heavily favored me over the other grandchildren (perhaps because i'm the only granddaughter?) throughout the years. she has never failed to give me anything i've asked for. in her, i've found unconditional love.

however, she absolutely despises my current hairstyle. "maggie, i know it's what they call 'mod,' but, honestly, my hair looks better than that when i wake up after a rough night's sleep."
