So.
So my sweet little middle, Li Li, wanted me to cut her bangs.
Well, let me rephrase that. She wanted me to take her to have her bangs cut...by a professional.
But who wants to pay $10 for a bang trim when Mom can do it. I mean, lets be real here...I'm qualified. I've been cutting bangs for like 15 years if you count my own!
I kept putting it off, and she kept nagging at me about it. Making such a HUGE whiney deal about it. One afternoon, when I was in a particularly crappy mood, I said "FINE! I'll do it now, even though I have a million other things to do, I'll stop and cut your bangs!" I went on...being ugly mommy as I gathered the kitchen scissors and a towel.
I grabbed up her bangs, gave them a squirt or two...and while griping and lecturing my poor daughter, I cut them.
OFF.
I don't know what happened. I was griping, she turned her head to see what was happening on the TV and I cut across and when I let go...she had sideways, lack of bangs.... they were like at the top of her forehead ya'll, maybe an inch long. :(
Oh my it was bad.
I cried, she cried.
Did I mention this was three days before her 9th birthday. Poor kid.
I immediately shut up. I said I was soooo soorrrry!!! But I blamed it on her moving. She was mad. Really mad. And it didn't help that big sis was laughing hysterically with big eyes and her hand covering her mouth.
For three months, she had to wear the thick fabric headbands...ya know, these. --------->
Thank God they hid the number I did on them. I told her to lie.
If ANYONE asked what happened to her hair, she was to say her little sister did it.
Thank Goodness they have grown back somewhat fast. It's been four months and they're now finally back to a pretty much normal, few inches above her brows length.
The moral of the story is this.... Don't be a mean mom. Don't cut your kid's hair when you're in a bad mood. It will bite you in the a**.
Blessings!
