A Childhood Rite of Passage?


Nin cut her own hair yesterday morning. I did it when I was a kid (in first grade). Elizabeth did it a couple of years ago. I remember my friend Mark was distraught when his son, Evan, did it. Faith and Emma Grace have both done it rather recently. I know a bunch of kids who've cut their own hair. Well, that knowledge didn't stop the tears yesterday morning as I picked up a handful of beautiful blonde hair that was laying on the bedroom floor. And the really bad thing? It's basically a mullet. arrrrrrrgh.

I've always been afraid of that. So far, neither of mine have done this. Crossing my fingers & toes that they don't!

Why do they have to do that? Christa did that when she was 3! And the 3 yr old next door just did it too. All the hair in the very front! She still looks cute tho!
