winners and loosers

My darling girl decided she wanted a hair cut. A drastic cut. A cut of the hair she's been growing out for a loooooong time. I told her "ok, you have to think about it for 2 weeks. If you still want to do it, then we'll cut it."

She waited the two weeks and still wanted the cut. I warned her, I talked to her about it, I told her she couldn't get mad or cry if she didn't like it. She assured me multiple times she was ready.

So I cut it.

And she cried and didn't like it.

You just can't win.

A few days have passed now and I think she's ok about it. She says it looks cute, but it's too short. I for one am glad to have it a little shorter, I can only take SO much tangle combing/pulling each day.
