Its a rare occasion that I end up wearing my sheitel. During the week, I almost never put it on, and even on Shabbos, I often end up wearing a nice Shabbos snood - its just much more conducive to running after the kids, and cuddling with them on the couch- and this way they don't end up pulling the hair and messing it up!
Well this past Shabbos, for a change, I decided to put my sheitel on. As soon as I came downstairs, the kids all commented, "Oh, Mommy has a sheitel!" - they seemed excited (ususally if I wear a sheitel it means we're going somewhere!) but Naftali took one look at me and started SCREAMING! I tried to pick him up and he recoiled- he immediately reached for Bentzi, and looked at me with absolute horror. Bentzi picked him up and calmed him down, but as soon as he looked at me again, he started crying again- hysterically!
It took him quite a while to get used to looking at me- I guess he didn't realize it was me! But B"H he finally settled down, and came to terms with the fact that this woman with hair, who sounds like his mother, and acts like his mother, must really be his mother!
