Sometimes when I'm sitting in class... You know, I'm not thinking about class, 'cause that would never happen. I think about kissing you. And it's like everything stops. It's like, it's like freeze frame. Willow kissage.

Definitely happens all the time. Happened in the 2.5-3 year old class at Casper's day care (one kid cut another's hair), Casper went through a phase where she cut a couple of locks off of hers, and lots of kids cut their own bangs - typically, about 1/4 inch long. I've never seen anyone freak about it. With Casper we didn't even punish her, just reminded her that "scissors are for paper."

Now tagless for your comfort.

Ah. Have you seen Away We Go? Because this reminds me a bit of Maggie Gyllenhaal's character.

BWHAHAHAH! This is fast becoming one of DH's top three movies! He watches it all the time and that is his favorite segment. Much because he can't stand this character. We should really own that movie because we both love it bunches.

When I was in college, I had a friend who had more than butt-length hair, and she was very tired of it but her mother adored her very long hair. I told her if she was tired of it, she should cut it off. My roommates were horrified: "Oh, it's so beautiful, you shouldn't cut it! No, no!" Me: "She's a grown person, she can cut her hair if she wants to."

Friend called her mother, said she was thinking of cutting her hair. Mother was horrified at the concept. She hung up and was sitting there very thoughtfully. "I could just cut it off on my own," she said. "No, you shouldn't," said the others that were there. Me: "I have scissors, if you're serious." "Let me have them."

My roommates were begging her not to cut it, she had it bunched up in one hand with the scissors in the other, and I said, "Your hair. Your decision." And she very slowly and deliberately hacked it off. She probably lost a good two feet of hair and still had it below her shoulders.

Her mother forgave her, she never cut it shorter, but the look on her face was very telling as she lopped it off.

Yep. Lemme see if I can get something. Is Monday ok? We've cleared out my team (except for creative who really don't have a promo code).

And with that I should really be out of here. I like my timesheets to be precise.
