It Was Bound To Happen!

With four children...I know that all the things that kids do to themselves will, at some time, happen to one of ours. It is just inevitable. We have seemed to breeze through life so far without many "scrapes" or mishaps and still I was holding my breath.

Yesterday, one of the things I did to myself when I was little to unwittingly torture my parents, came and got me back through one of my kids!

D-D!

This poem might best describe what happened:

Haircut
by Marilyn Singer

Moments ago
I had hair
down to there.

I could braid it
or parade it
I had hair
that I could wear.

Just like that
on a dare
I lopped it
and I chopped it
Now my head
is nearly bare.

For a second
I felt chic
Now I look
just like a freak.

What will everybody say?

I wish it was still yesterday
when my hair
my hair
my hair
was
long and sleek.

It is not as bad as the poem makes it appear, but much hair was cut and our sweet across--the--street--neighbor did a great job fixing it so that D-D looks very cute. The neighbor did not have to use the scissors on the left side of D-D's face since D-D had already done that for her!!
