Thursday evenings Dana picks the girls up from daycare b/c I work late.  They always make waffles or pancakes. It's their favorite.  And they always get to help.  It's their fun time w/ Dad.

Last night at work i get a phone call from the hubby

It goes like this

ME: Hello
HUBS: Hi, ummm something happened.  It's kind of bad. You might freak out.
ME: Ooookkkk.......to who
HUBS: Gentry.....it's her .......hair
ME: Did she cut it again?
HUBS: No, that would be better.  We were making pancakes and ummm
ME: OMG SHE GOT IT CAUGHT IN THE MIXER DIDN'T SHE
HUBS: YES.....only it didn't get caught......it ripped it out.
ME: ARE YOU SERIOUS? HOW MUCH? IS SHE OK? OMG.
HUBS: It's a lot.  I turned around to put the measuring spoon away.  When I turned back. Her head was against the mixer. I couldn't figure out what she was doing.  Then she screams and pulls her head up and I see a huge wad of hair in the mixer. It's bad.  She's bald. But she literally only cried for a couple of minutes and then she seemed to be just fine.
ME: Oh my poor baby. Ok. Will we be able to cover it up?
HUBS: Maybe.
ME: Ok. I Need to start this haircut that's waiting on me. Thanks for warning me.  See you as soon as I can.

 This beautiful long hair.......

Plus this Kitchen Aid Mixer

EQUALS........Brace Yourself.......THIS...

  AND THIS.........

I cried.  I'm not just saying I cried.  I really cried. I cried for my poor baby and the pain this mixer must have inflicted upon her poor little head.  I cried because she now has a huge bald spot. I cried for her beautiful hair. I cried for me. Her mother. Her hairdresser.

We had a rule in our house that the girls' hair had to be clipped back when cooking (but you know what they say about rules...they are meant to be broken). But that rule has now been revised to......THE GIRLS CAN NOT HELP WITH THE MIXER TIL AT LEAST AGE 7. And I am pretty sure this rule will be followed.
