"A book about mice, yes? That does sound fascinating." Well, at least someone was convinced of his parenting talent. He was really not too sure himself, but he hadn't really seen any better way to handle this. How could he trust someone else with his daughter, after she had already been mistreated like this?

He used a conditioner spray now to make her hair easier to brush, slowly making her hair as beautiful as it ought to be. "Tomorrow we can decide what you want your room to look like. We'll get you a desk... You need to start school some time, I guess."

There was a lot to figure out. For now, her hair, then food, then sleep. He could plan further later.
