We all saw the video of Chris Pratt French Braiding hair and wanted to see Andy doing it on Parks and Rec. And if it involved a certain little blonde girl all the better. Here's my version…..
French Braiding 101
"Ok, now put the hair in your left hand," Andy instructed.
"Ok, wait you have it in your right hand," Ben noted confused.
"Oh, sorry. I meant right hand. I forgot to do my test. When you hold your hand up and make an L the L in the correct direction is left and the other one is right."
"Yeah."
"What's his name taught me that, uh your kid with glasses taught me that."
"Can we get back to braiding?" the blonde haired little girl lamented.
"Ok, so then transfer the hair to your other hand and just do the same thing back and forth," Andy said as he demonstrated on the large doll head in front of him while Ben tried to imitate on his daughter's hair.
"Ok, all done," Ben nervously stated as he secured the hair band.
"Dude, not bad," Andy congratulated Ben with a pat on the back.
"Look at me teaching you stuff," Andy playfully smirked.
Now it was time for the real test. That test was his eight year old daughter. She had high standards. She had insisted that Ben learn how to French Braid her hair because she didn't think, quote, "I shouldn't have to suffer with less hair styling options just because Mommy is away on business and you don't know how to French Braid hair. There's always something to learn." This earned an incredulous look from Ben who was confused by his daughter's attitude and surprise that she was using Ben's own words about there always being something to learn against him.
"Go look in the mirror," Ben told his daughter and off she skipped away.
"Thanks for teaching me, man. She always wants her hair French Braided and then when Leslie is out of town or goes in early she gets all pouty because I don't know how."
"By the way I never got the chance to ask, how did you learn to French Braid hair? This morning she said, "You should have Uncle Andy teach you how" I was surprised." Ben inquired.
"I learned that time I was a Pawnee Goddess. I got the badge for being the fastest braider. I also got a badge for best cuddle time with a puppy. I got the badge for tallest too! That was a great two hours."
As Andy finished the little girl benefiting from Andy's hair tutorial waltzed into the room and turned serious as she stood before her father and Uncle Andy.
"I approve," she said with much confidence as if she were a Congress woman approving a bill. Of course, she was eght so her face quickly broke into a big smile.
"I'm glad to hear it," Ben smiled back.
"So now you can French Braid my hair for school tomorrow, Daddy."
"I will certainly try," Ben replied pulling his daughter in for a hug.
