just ask for what you want

Took Olivia for a haircut this evening. Liv was in rare form, chatting up the hair stylist big time - and had her totally charmed by the time she was finished.

Haircut complete, the stylist took Olivia back to the sink and washed her hair again. As I watched, I was thinking...new product? Special rinse? So as we walked to the car, I asked Olivia why the stylist washed her hair again.

"Because I asked her to," she replied.

"Why did you ask her to?" I asked.

"Because it feels good."

Well. It does, right? Now I wish I'd tipped her a couple of extra dollars.
