Q. Did you get your hair cut?<\/p>\n
A. \u00a0No, I got them all cut. <\/em><\/p>\n This is what my geometry teacher in highschool used to say when we asked him if he just had a haircut.\u00a0 This then necessitated a\u00a0hardy, har, har<\/em> followed by an inordinate amount conversation about our own hairstyles until the geometry teacher was forced to whip chalkboard erasers at…those people with the best hairstyles. \u00a0Or…at those people who may have been talking too much ABOUT their hairstyles.<\/p>\n I think I may have just discovered why I hate geometric proofs.<\/em><\/p>\n Where I was really going with all this is that my sisters and I recently had a conversation about the haircuts our mother used to give us.\u00a0\u00a0All I\u2019ll say here about those haircuts is that they involved a bowl and scotch tape and people thought I was a boy up until last year.<\/p>\n But that conversation got me\u00a0thinking about them-there bowl cuts and how they must\u2019ve been pretty cheap, what with the cost of bowls and tape being almost nil.\u00a0 And…hey, I need a cheap haircut!\u00a0 However, since I live in opposite world, I asked my DAUGHTER to cut my hair (and to please leave out the tape and bowl part).<\/p>\n For about\u00a0ten minutes leading up to the event, we discussed how much to take off. \u00a0Not much! \u00a0Just to there!!<\/em> [Said the pretty lady in the mirror demonstrating the slim inch of hair she wanted off.]\u00a0 Sissy confirmed time and time again: Yeah, yeah, just about an inch. \u00a0An inch. \u00a0Only to take off the frazzled ends. \u00a0Just an inch. <\/em><\/p>\n Trustingly, I leaned back in the kitchen chair so that my long and beautiful locks could flow unencumbered down my back. \u00a0When I heard snip, snip<\/em> I thought Sissy was just warming up the scissors, getting\u2019 the feel of her tools and such.\u00a0 But then Sonny walked into the room and said, “Oh my GOSH, Sissy!\u00a0What are you DOING?! \u00a0Mom, she just cut off SO\u00a0MUCH of your hair!!!”<\/p>\n What?? \u00a0WHAT?!?\u00a0 <\/strong><\/em> I jumped out of the seat and looked down at the floor.\u00a0 There was a good THREE INCHES of hair pooled there while\u00a0Sissy just stood by,\u00a0innocently holding the weapon of mass destruction in her hand.<\/p>\n I thought we agreed: ONE INCH!!! <\/em><\/p>\n Her reply? \u00a0“Naw, it all had to come off.”<\/p>\n Alrighty then, let that be a life lesson to ya: when you ask the girl who\u2019s all in, full out in everything she does, to cut your hair just an inch?\u00a0 She cuts\u00a0them ALL.\u00a0 THREE inches.<\/p>\n I didn’t tip her.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Q.
