Sophie gave me a haircut!

You can imagine my horror when Maggie came down the stairs and said “Sophie gave me a haircut!” I turned around and there was little Maggie, her cute pageboy cut chopped off completely! My little girl, who didn’t have a ton of hair in the first place, now looked like a boy! AHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Tears started streaming down my face and then Maggie, who was so proud of her new ‘do began to cry too. Sophie knew she was in big trouble and immediately went to the Naughty Corner as I went to the scene of the crime, wondering how this could have happened. Where did they ever get a hold of scissors?!?! Well…..

For those of you parents, remember those nifty child-health kits with the nail clippers, medicine droppers, and thermometers? Well, they also had scissors…. Something I seemed to have forgotten when I put it away in Maggie’s bathroom. Sophie not only cut Maggie’s hair, but both of their shirts, which, of course, matched their cute, and expensive outfits. I am horrified and mortified that, while I thought how nicely they were playing together upstairs as I listened on the monitor, they were causing such chaos!

The moral of the story is to re-check that stuff in your kids’ bathrooms. When they are babies, you put things away, and when they get bigger, you forget what’s there and end up with an unwanted hair-cut!
