I’m behind on absolutely everything. It’s terrible and I hate it. There’s a week left of February and I’ve decided to make a real concerted effort. Anyway, that’s not why I’m posting. I’m posting because I just wrote a line where Belle says she has “eyes in the back of her head” since having kids, and it reminded me of an anecdote my mother likes to embarrass me with.

This is something that needs to be worked into a fic one day. When I was little we went to the hairdresser. Mum was getting her haircut and apparently I suddenly screamed “mummy’s eyes, mummy’s eyes!” and the hairdresser turned round and said something like “sweetie I’m nowhere near your mummy’s eyes” and I then said “no, no, the ones in the back of her head” because apparently when I was little I thought that she literally had eyes in the back of her head.

If anyone wants a fluffy Gold family prompt then have at it! 🙂
