Hacking Job

Crouched under her bed, with children's scissors in her hands Violette when to town on her hair.  She bounded out of the room and said to me, "do I look different Mommy?".  I immediately noticed her blond locks chopped hacked into what looked like a complete butcher job.  I ran to her room and searched for the evidence wanting to see the amount that had been cut.  Under the bed, heaped in a pile was the hair.  Yep, it was pretty bad. 

After talking with her and dolling out a punishment, Violette was beyond remorseful with tears streaming down her face and her eyes remained pitiful and tear filled.  She knew it was wrong and she took her punishment well and with much understanding.  I could do nothing more than love and hold her. 

As I surveyed the damage I realized her left side was pretty bad.  I snapped a picture and texted it to my sister.  We discussed options and knew it would have to be cut a lot shorter to even things up.  Charlotte didn't think it look that bad in the picture but when she came over on Easter she saw up close and realized that it was pretty bad. 

Needless to say, Violette is now sporting a much shorter hairstyle.  She really likes it and has hopefully learned her lesson.
