Future Stylist

Here she is....my future Stylist. She did this just 5 days before her 8th birthday. She never did this at the age you would think children cut their own hair. That is why I am just a little confused by the whole situation. Kalan his to match everyday...her hair must be perfect. That is why I am so shocked about this.

This is how it went down....
On Monday morning I called Kalan in my room so I could put up her hair for school. At first I did not notice this very large chunk of hair missing from the front of her head. When I did I almost lost it...poor child.

Me "Kalan...WHAT HAPPENED TO YOUR HAIR?"
Kalan " I don't know Mama...it must have happened at Gran mama's house when I was playin hide-n-go seek with the babies. I was under the bed and it got caught and it must have sliced it off."
Me "Why didn't you tell me...or someone?"
Kalan " I don't know...I didn't know that it did it."
Me " Now Kalan, I find it hard to believe that you didn't know that your hair was 'sliced' off. You would have seen all of that hair."
Kalan "I'm sorry."
Me "Don't lie to me...tell me what happened to your hair."
Kalan " I don't know...I don't remember. All I know is that it is gone."
Me "Did you cut your hair Kalan?'
Kalan "No ma'am."
Me "Is it in your garbage can?"
Kalan "NO Mama...it's not in there. I didn't cut it."
Me " If I go in your room and find your hair in the garbage can you are going to get a spanking for lying to me....so, tell me the truth. Is your hair in your garbage can?"
Kalan "No ma'am it's not in there."

At this point I leave out of the room to go look in her garbage can. Her Daddy is in there talking to her. I saw a small little piece laying in the floor near the garbage can...and then I moved one piece of paper. There it was all of her beautiful hair....that has take us 8 years to grow out so she wouldn't have bangs. I took the garbage can back to her to let her know the gig was up.

Me "Kalan, what is that?"
Kalan "I don't know how it got in there."
Me "It's your hair...and you cut it and put it in there didn't you?"
Kalan "I DID NOT! I don't know how it got in there."
Me " I know you cut it Kalan...here is your hair and the Fiskar scissors are laying on your book shelf. Don't lie to me...why did you do it?"
Kalan " I didn't do it! I don't know who did it."
Me "Did Nathan do it?'
Kalan "No...I don't think he did."
Me "Okay...that's it...you are getting a spanking for lying to us."

So after the spanking it still took her a few minutes to confess to the crime. Why must children lie? I just knew once I had brought that garbage can full of hair in there to show her it would be an open and shut case...but it didn't happen that way.

In the pictures I has grown out a lot! She cut it down to less than a 1/4 inch. She will look back on this one day and say, "I better just tell the truth because they are going to find out the truth anyway." At least that's what I am hoping she will say....
