I got my hair cut Friday and tonight as I was tucking Savannah into bed she started looking at me funny. Then she says, “Hey mom? Have you noticed how well I’ve been listening lately? And how I’m doing so many things with my initiative?”
“Yes, actually I have noticed.”
“Do you know why???”
“Well, I thought you were just being obedient. Is there another reason?”
“Yes. It’s your bangs.”
“My bangs?”
“Uh-huh. Ever since you cut your hair and Ms Courtney gave you bangs, I think you look like a teenager. Like a babysitter. I’m always a better listener for a babysitter.”
(Where was this in the parenting handbook? If I’d had known it was that simple, I’d have asked Courtney to cut me some bangs a long time ago!)
