It has happened!!

So......for all of these years I have been so grateful that my kids have never cut their own hair, or worse, someone else's hair. But, IT HAS HAPPENED. Somehow I thought we just might make it through these toddlers years unscathed by the 'I cut my own hair' catastrophy. But, alas, it has happened in the Allred house. And many of you may be in shock that this is something Cody hasn't tried yet (I am a little too). Let me give you the details :).

It was a beautiful day and Mom needed some time away from the house and kids. This leaves Dad as the only supervising adult in the house with 3 kids and a very important football game to watch. You know where this is going. Upon my return home I notice scissors in the front room. Questionable, but I then think nothing of it. After giving Lauren a bath I notice TONS of hair in the tub. Questioning, I ask her,"Why is all that hair in the tub." She responds, calm as can be,"Oh, Cody gave me a haircut while I was practicing the piano." In my mind I refer back to the scissors I saw in the living room. I then frantically look at Lauren's hair to assess the damage. Not too bad (luckily), just bits and pieces gone here and there. I then run to the living room looking for precious locks of Lauren's hair on the ground. None to be found. Strange. Later, I ask Tony if he knew that Cody had cut Lauren's hair and he says,"Oh, that explains all the hair I found in the toilet." Now I am really questioning what all happened while I was gone when my husband did not seem alarmed by this discovery. Then, I go to comb Cody's hair and something is not right. Could he be a victim too??? Sure enough. A big chunk gone right out of the front. I ask him,"Cody, who cut your hair?" He responds with famous words,"Lauren did it."

So.....there you have it. The 'he cut mine, so I cut his' barbershop playtime that occurred while mom was getting some time off.
