  • The ultimate sleep-over activity. Although one *can* brain one's own hair, why wouldst thou bother?

  • I never learned to do french braids. Nor did my mother. In second grade, my idea of a perfect life was french braids, sandwiches cut diagonally rather than straight across, and snowball cakes in my lunch. Alas, these things were cruelly withheld from me. Sob.

  • Please accept my condolences. It is a sad day when parents refuse to cut sandwiches on the diagonal.

  • Probably if I had asked to have the sandwiches cut on the diagonal, my wish would have been granted, barring memory lapses! ;-)

  • The diagonal cut is the only way to ensure the halves are exactly equal without doing any measuring (without getting into any mathematical hair-splitting, that is)! That way, when you share with a friend, there's no possibility of getting the "short end". :^)

  • You're exactly right--especially when it's bread with that rounded bumpy top. As long as it's not wet bread, all is well.
