say goodbye...

to quincy's curls. a few weeks ago quincy had her hair in a pony. she wanted it out. the rubber band was tangled. "as soon as mom gets off the phone, i'll cut it out." is what quincy was told, as i shewed her away. what mom didn't know was that...after a few short minutes, her patience had run out. she located her little pink scissors, reached behind her head, and went for it. her aim was way off. meanwhile, mom oblivious that any of this had happend....hung up the phone, grabbed the scissors (which quincy had so kindly fetched for me-delaying her fiasco in the kitchen), and snipped the black rubber band out of the tangled mess. which is when chunks of blonde hair started falling through my fingers. what was going on. she had pulled at it so much she ripped it right out of her head!?!?! she's crazy! i walk into the kitchen to put my weapon away and see quincy's sheers and blonde curls all over my dark kitchen floor. a few tears (mom's were sad tears, quincy's were scared ones-lol) later, and we both figured life would go on.
after debating for weeks whether to leave it alone, or to chop it all off....tuesday i finally did the most ridiculous thing possible. after giving the boys fades, i propped quincy up onto the bathroom counter and began to cut, and cut, and cut. how hard could it be? her poor hair was butchered. you couldn't tell, cus her curls hid most of the blunt cuts....but it was a hair dressers worst nightmare. thank goodness for laree. she came over that same night i called her and fixed it for us. at 9 o'clock pm. bless her. i couldn't be happier with the way it turned out, and quincy likes it too-thank goodness. it's a perfect summer cut! we owe laree big time!
