My “little wild woman” called me yesterday. Somehow those little ones just make everything better.

Haha… Your sense of humor is such a gift.

So. What’s next on the needles?

nearly 5000 stitches in one day is mind boggling!!

you are right about the hair — my daughter colored hers several different colors when she was in college and in the end she came home one weekend and I helped her return it to something close to her natural color so it could grow out — and how could I complain about it — I colored mine for years too!

our best “hair” story, though, was when she was about 4 1/2 — the babysitter called me at work telling me that she had cut her hair, worried that I would be angry — I just laughed and said “I wondered when she’d do that — every kid does!” totally amazed the sitter

Re the Dr. Greene posting: You’ll just have to recognize and accept it, Alison. That’s the kind of person you are, and I cannot imagine you doing otherwise.

Does your hair really look like Calvin’s?

The night before her wedding, my daughter’s flower girl chopped off her hair. I just laughed out loud–honest! It’s exactly what my daughter might have done. (Me, too!) We wove flowers into it and nobody was the wiser.

id rather my kid experimented with hair colour and length rather than tattoos and drugs. hair grows. a tattoo is a permanent reminder of a temporary feeling.

For one moment you had me thinking “a scalp scar of 11 rows and 448 stiches” …………. and then I realised: “no, you’ve grown out of punk fashion”!

It is only hair. My darling daughter had her amazing head of hair buzzed twice while she was in middle school. I thought she rocked that look, and without all that hair to distract, one could really appreciate the shape of her eyes and eyebrows. (What? Me? Prejudiced?)
It totally freaked out the relatives, though. “Geegee! Vay deed you let her do dis? She look ahglee!”
Shaving isn’t bad, it grows back, but when she had her curl straightened, I cried. Grew back curly, so we are ok.
It really freaked me out, when she had her hair bleached. Once she put pink dye on it, I was ok, it was her again.
Now she is sporting a Lady Hawk, a nod to mohawks. Or dinosaurs, when she spikes it.

Spaceman Spiff!! I love him. What mom doesn’t? Glad you are all OK
