You can’t imagine the gasp that came out of my mouth, when Scout brought me this handful of hair, while yelling, “Pippi cut her own hair!”
Of course she would.
I didn’t know exactly how to react, because Pippi thinks she is big enough to do anything, and thinks she knows all things style. I was pretty sure she would disregard all of my “you are too little” attempts, because her inflated sense of herself. I also knew that “you aren’t supposed to use scissors” attempts would fall on deaf ears. So I went with the best approach I knew for her.
I just kept saying, “It is so ugly”!
She just kept giggling and giggling.
But in the end, she said, “Yeah, I hate it too.”
Thank goodness, or we might have had an unwanted family barber on our hands.
Good thing I am an aspiring hair dresser….because I was very proud of the new bangs I cut from the mess she made.

(And a little caveat… if one of my kids was going to cut their hair — I would have taken this exact scenario. She made almost a perfect cut, in the front, on a head of hair where I have thought about bangs throughout the years. I don’t want to tell you now…but when you read this in the future…Nice work Pippi. You just may have a good career in your future!)
