It never occured to me that nappy hair would be something other than -
actually, it never really occured to me to think about what nappy hair was
at all.

I did, however, assume that nappy meant a diaper type thing for young
children and vaguely wondered whether they were cloth or disposable.  Cloth
nappies (once they're finished with) are really good for cleaning windows
and mirrors along with your glass cleaning chemical of choice.  At least,
that's what my mum used them for (those she didn't pass onto relatives in
need) and I made sure to take one when I moved out of home.
