Since we moved here Daisy had gotten gum stuck in her hair twice and silly putty once. So we have a rule of no chewing gum for the kids. Well Saturday Willie brought me home a pack of gum, because he was at the store and saw a flavor he thought I would like. I opened the pack and we each had a piece. Daisy came in and asked if she could have a piece and I said no.
A while later we heard Marybeth say, "You have gum!? I'm telling!" So I went in to investigate. Well she opened her mouth and I didn't see any gum, but she slowly turned with this smile that gave her away. So I gave her a little lecture and told her we lost the Library this Friday. I thought the problem was solved. Well later that night I looked and noticed that another piece was missing. Thought Willie might have had another piece.
Then Tuesday morning when I asked Daisy to bring me a brush so I could help her brush it out. She held part of her hair and said I have something in it that I can't get out. Well after pulling her hair apart I discovered that she had gum in her hair!!! I couldn't believe it.
Well, last night got busy, so tonight after school I took her down to Walmart's hair salon, and she got her hair not just cut but chopped off. Here is a picture:
Yes chopped! See why I said morn the loss of her hair. Ok, I know what you are thinking... peanut butter will get it out with no problem. But here, has her mom is what I was thinking. Maybe if I get the hair, that she has worked so hard at growing out, cut above the wad of gum it will be a lesson to her. Nothing else has worked so it was worth a shot. So we will see if this is a good lesson or not...
So that is the story of the loss of Daisy long hair. It was almost to her waist. The lady at the salon could not believe I was doing that. Just before she went to bed she told me that she was getting used to it and liked it.
Oh and she loved school again today.

Just yesterday I was admiring her hair in the picture of her (on your MySpace Page) cooking the hamburger for tacos. I was thinking how beautiful it was... actually, now that I think about it, it looked a lot like yours.
I think you are right about the lesson, but, did you save a lock of the longness? Did you send all of it (minus the gum) to Locks for Love?
Suzy :D
