She comes skipping into the Big Top with these on her head.

Corn nuts!

She looks up me with her judge-y look and correct me.

“These are NOT corn nuts. They are but-tons.“

I explain to her that I know this style as corn nuts because that is what her mommy called them when she was just a kid who always wore corn nuts on the top of her head because she liked to…back in the day when Elisabeth Hasselbeck wasn’t annoying and shrill and was Elisabeth Filarski on Survivor the Australian Outback…wearing her hair in corn nuts…she inspired Holly…then.

“Well, you and Mommy are wrong. They are BUT-TONS!”

Yes, she rolled her eyes when she said that because seriously anyone can plainly see that she is wearing but-tons on the top of her head.
