Oh my… here it is. I was age 8 or 9 and I was bored, which happened frequently. I’d seen the look on TV and on the girls at my school, so, this would be a new adventure I could sink my teeth into—or at least it would keep me distracted for the next 5 or 10 minutes. I need bangs, I thought.
I rushed to grab a pair of my mom’s sewing scissors and “clip, clip, clip”. I was instantly transported to bang land! Of course, the thought occurred to me afterwards, “Mom is not going to like this. I must cover it up!” I hesitated in the mirror enjoying my new bangs, then rushed to cover it up. I went downstairs hoping no one would notice. Nope. Didn’t work. The first thing Mom said to me was, “Did you cut your hair?” Of course I said no. The look on Mom’s face said that she knew exactly what I’d done, but it was too late now to make a huge fuss. So, what have I learned? Don’t cut bangs if you’re bored!
I love this so much! Especially when you came to the quick conclusion, "Mom is not going to like this." I love that your mom did not make a fuss. Yep, "Don't cut bangs if you're bored."
Oh Mary, this is wonderful! ✂️😘
Rebecca, you are a sweetie. Thank you. Love the scissors emoji!

If I cut my bangs, I might look like Moe Howard. My few attempts at cutting my own hair were disastrous. 😀
Classic...yeah, it always feels like I'll be able to do it successfully. I too have had the "Moe" bangs. Not cool.
