Every Mom's worst nightmare

I think this is the one thing that every Mom hopes her child never does, but it happened to mine.

Amy asked me for scissors yesterday to cut some pictures out. I thought nothing of it and gave them to her, as she uses them at school so I thought it would be good practice for her...

When a child is left unattended with them is not a good thing I guess. After cutting pictures I think she decided it was a good a time as any to cut her hair, or should I say hack it off.

The funny thing is, I never really noticed it at first until we got back from dinner at RJ's last night and she was fast asleep.

I went to turn down her bed and found a clump of hair, thought it was a dolly's hair, but it indeed was hers. So I searched her room flat and finally found the evidence hidden in her clips holder on the wall, maybe she thought if she hid it away nobody would say anything.

This morning, Dad sat her down on our bed and asked her did she cut it and was this her hair in the box, she said "NO" to start off with, but eventually said it was hers. He explained nicely to her that it was not nice of her to do so etc, etc, etc.

As her punishment she is not allowed to watch any TV or her movies for 4 days, she is only allowed to play with her toys. She was not very happy with that. We might give in earlier than that...

Here is the evidence I took photos of this morning before she headed off to school.

You can only imagine how cross I am, as her fringe was almost the length of her hair at the back. Which is what I was trying to achieve.

So, from now on...no scissors, unless she is using them in my presence...
