Does this code create a circular reference ?

After a closer look, No it doesn't create a circular reference.
If the "headache" class had kept a reference to a_child it would have.

 def eater():
     l1=[]
     l2=[]
     l1.append(l2)
     l2.append(l1)

 for y in range(50000):
    eater()

Now that's a circular reference.
