Amanda glared accusingly from the living room doorway. Her father and brother didn’t even notice. They were engrossed in television. Their shared triumphant roar startled her.
“What’s wrong, love?” Mam rocked herself out of the old couch and approached. She fondled Amanda’s curls.
“Betty’s hair is a mess. I brushed it yesterday.”
Mam smiled. “Let’s see what we can do.”

The doll’s coiffure was perfect when Mam put her back in the toy cupboard and tucked Amanda in.
Betty waited until the lights were out before indignantly reaching up and ruffling her hair back to the way she liked it.
