Last night I found dark hair on Alyssa's bedroom floor. I knew it wasn't her's, because her hair is much lighter and Mike and Curtis were still on their fishing trip. My eyes fell on her two Dora dolls laying on the floor. I asked, "Alyssa, did you cut Dora's hair?" "No Mommy," was her answer. I said, "There's hair on the floor and Dora's hair looks like you cut it." She cast her eyes down shamefully and said, "I did it, I'm sorry." I said, "Where are the scissors?" "I don't know," was the answer. I again asked for the scissors and once again got the shameful look and she took them from where she had hidden them. I told her I was taking her scissor privileges away and that's when she started crying.
I guess I should be grateful that she only cut Dora's hair and not her own, her brother's, or a friend's. Hopefully this will be a lesson and no other helpless dolls will have to suffer needlessly.
ahhh the haircutting cycle...I do so remember Christy running to find me; "Look, Look!!! Jennifer gave me a haircut!!!!! She was so excited, so thrilled and had bangs cut oh so short...like to the hairline. Ahhh, hair cutting!
ReplyDeleteI think Dora looks good.
ReplyDeleteYes, you should be grateful she didn't cut her own hair! I've been there & some of those haircuts take a LONG time to grow out!
ReplyDeleteYesterday Alyssa told me her "scissor" privilages had been revolked. I asked her why...she couldn't remember. Oh yea the Dora doll haircut I said. She was a little put out that I knew the reason and told me "well I didn't cut any perosn's hair!" I love her and her little asides. She has quite a memory for the important details
