At first I thought, What is this? Oh no...
Yes. It finally happened. Kara discovered that her paper sissors could be used to cut hair. Immediately I went to Kara. I was furious. "What is this!" I exclaimed, while holding a bag out to her. I could tell by the look on her face that she knew exactly what it was and that she was terrified. (Had I never explained to her that sissors are for paper only? -Oh yea this was Kara who never broke the rules- She probably didn't even know it was wrong.) After those few seconds, I calmed down. It took me a lot longer to convince Kara that she could tell me the truth and I would not ground her. ...
"Mom, I just wanted them to have short hair..."
It didn't help that Tyler thought the haircuts looked good.
This was a good time to talk about asking mommy before cutting hair off the dolls and stuffed animals (Elmo included). Thank goodness it was just the doll hair.
