16 inches and lots of love

The start of the day went like this..
Maccoy: I want to cut my hair.
Me: Why?
Maccoy: Because.
Me: Because doesn't cut it.
Maccoy: I think it would be cute shorter
Me: When do you want to cut it?
Maccoy: Before Friday.
Me: Why Friday?
Maccoy: No answer.

This whole time i am thinking that its just one of those times that she said that she wants to cut it and not mean it.
So i told her to think about it and if she wanted it cut by the time school got out i would see what we could do to cut it.
So why she was at school i called a gal that i know that cuts hair and she said that we could cut Maccoys hair when she got home if she still wanted to cut it so that's what we did.

When we were on our way i asked her how short she wanted it and she said to her shoulders. When we got there i asked again and she still wanted it to her shoulders. I was the one that was scared to do it. I was just thinking what if she doesn't like it and all that good stuff but i had to keep reminding my self that it was her hair and its good for her to learn now at a young age what it means when you cut your hair if you like long hair. So she cut it.

there is 16 inches of hair in that pony tail. Maccoy is going to send her hair to locks of love for some little girl that doesn't have any hair!! She is so excited to do it.

Maccoy says that she loves having short hair.

Come to find out the big reason that she wanted to cut her hair is that lots of kids/friends at school would play with her hair and it would bug her. She would tell them to quit playing with her hair but they would still play with it. So she wanted to cut it so no one would play with her hair.
