Last night I was in the kitchen making dinner, and the girls were seated at the island. Emma was doing her homework and Harper was doing her "homework" which was practicing using a scissors. I turned my back for a split second to check the boiling pasta on the stove when Emma yelled, "Mommy, quick, she's going to cut her hair!" I turned around to see Harper, scissors in hand and positioned to take a nice sized chunk of hair out. "NOOOOOOOOO! STOP!" My scream startled her, and she immediately dropped the scissors to the floor.
In that moment, I flashback to December 1972...I was being crowned Christmas Princess of Lebanon (PA) County. A most illustrious title indeed especially for a five year old! A few days before the crowning, I cut my hair. The only explanation I have for what I did is that I was exerting my independence, I think. I was on TV. My picture was in local newspapers. My parents must have been mortified.
LOL!!How funny is that. Sheila, is that Ann Rogers behind you? It looks like her but I wasn't sure.
