TV time!
And finally, the haircut happened. Our favourite hairdresser came home, brought us chocolates and a 2×2 Rubik’s Cube, showed us three options (all chosen by Mama and Baba Bear) of which we chose one, and then gently went to work on our tresses as we sat on a bright green chair in the breezy balcony, eating chocolate and solving the Cube.
Can’t say it wasn’t fun, because, at the end of that, we got new running shoes (white, if you must know), a new whatever-it’s-called (it’s a kind of shorts but it has cross-belts and you wear a t-shirt underneath; and yes, we wore it immediately after), a string of lights with cardboard foldable enclosures that Masi and I will assemble next week (Yay! Science project), and 40 minutes of TV (that’s two episodes of ‘Sophia The First’, which according to Baba is a brain-dead, time-wasting program, but sometimes, it’s OK to do stuff that just feels good).
As to what we think we look like, who cares. Baba says this hair will itch less after running. So, that’s a plus.
Ah yes, we know you want to know how it turned out. So, here’s how it started, and here’s how it ended. All in a row.
Presenting: The New Kymaia. Same as The Old Kymaia. But not really the same.
We get started.
Engrossed in the Cube.
The special smile reserved for Baba bear.
And one for Mamma bear.
This is awkward!
Eager to run to a mirror to see how we look.
Poseur!
Pensive who? Me?
This photo by Masi was so well-composed that Baba bear decided to keep it.
![Mr Baba: 'Would you like to take off the backpack now that you've been downstairs for like 30 minutes?'
Ms Kym-Kym: 'I like it like this. You should try it. It's very comfortable.'
Mr Baba: [Pulling on his backpack] 'Hmmm, you're right. That's rather snug.'
Ms Kym-Kym: 'Twinning! Yay!'

![Kym: 'Mr Baba, can I tell you something wierd? You can actually get tired from doing nothing!!'
Me: 'It is called boredom.'
Kym: 'Noooo. I mean, like physically tired.'
Me: 'One can get tired and sleepy due to boredom. I remember reading about it somewhere. Let's find out.'
[Some Googling later]
Me: 'It says here that "A new paper published in the journal Nature Communications finds that a part of the brain that is associated with motivation and pleasure - the nucleus accumbens - also can produce sleep. The new findings may explain why we have the tendency to fall asleep in the absence of motivating stimuli, i.e., when bored." Isnt it interesting?'
Kym: 'I already knew that. Why do you need to research things we already know?'
Me: [Finding a subject worth talking about now]: ' Ah well, that's what we'll talk of tomorrow on your morning run. It's very interesting the way science is done and our understanding of the universe is expanded.'
Kym: 'Can we talk of unicorns instead?'
Me: 'Sure. How do you know they exist? That's an interesting question too that you can use the scientific method to answer.'
Kym: 'Do they have to exist for us to talk about them? We can just pretend they do for an hour and have fun.'
Me: [Laughing] 'Yes, sure. We can do that too.'
