I can’t believe this is the first time this has happened. But I just got a phone call from Aubrey’s teacher telling me that Aubrey gave herself a haircut at school today. Aubrey has a head full of curls and recently it has gotten too thick to be held back by the tiny rubber bands we have. Everyday when she comes home from school, I can tell some sweet teacher has pulled her hair back again, but her hair is still in her face.
This morning I took the time to French braid her hair, in hopes of giving her sweet little hands some much needed, hair swiping relief.
Apparently she’d had all she could take today, and she just took out her safety scissors and lopped off the offending curls. Her fellow students ratted her out to the teacher, and once Aubrey realized she was in trouble, she refused to leave the bathroom.
Her teacher took her aside and asked her, “Aubrey, why did you cut your hair?”
“It wasth in my face and I JUST COULDN’T TAKE IT ANYMORE!”
Update: I just picked her up from school and I can’t even tell where she cut it. (Yay for me! Boo for you…I know you wanted pictures, you sicko.) Her teacher is laminating the offending curls to put in Aubrey’s journal at school. THAT is a good teacher.

Oh gosh – laminating the cut hair was an adorable (not to mention thoughtful) idea! Score one for Aubrey's teacher!

Oh girl!!! That is too funny!!!
This past Halloween Mary Frances cut her hair…
We had a Halloween party at our house that night and at the end of the evening I was cleaning up and a friend put her to bed. Well, the next morning I noticed a big chunk of blonde hair under the vanity stool in my bathroom. I knew as soon as i saw it who's it was! When MF got up that morning..we could see she had Lopped off a huge section of hair..right in the front!!!
I calmly asked her why she did it.." so i could have Bangs like you.." Ok, "When did you do it?" ..Get this.." When you weren't LOOKING!!!"
Nice!!!

Aubrey has an awesome teacher!!!
I cut my hair when I was 4 on a sunday morning. Mom went to brush my hair (she thought it was tucked behind my ears) and there was nothing there on one side of my head. oops!!
