Lena wants to be a "hair cutter" when she grows up

Because she's just so talented at it, see?

This is what happens when your 3 year old sees you cutting your own bangs and decides to try it out on her own. My first reaction when she came strutting out of her room, flushed with pride? Hysterical laughter (which seemed to justify her actions, in her mind), followed by shock, horror and more manic giggling. Lena didn't understand why I stormed into her room and confiscated the scissors, and my scream of shock to see the massive pile of hair on her floor just made her more confused. "But Mom, now I have short bangs like you!" AARRGHHH!!!

Tyler's reaction was more toned-down than mine. "She looks like that guy from the Conan movie."

So now whenever I look at her poor mutilated bangs (which will take MONTHS to grow back! waaaa!), THIS is what I see:

P.S. And yes, the saying "What goes around, comes around" is absolutely true in this case. My mom is sure to remind me of the story of another little girl who, with the "help" of her best friend, decided to cut her own bangs, the day before Picture Day in playschool. So the image of my own poor butchered and mutilated bangs is preserved for future generations to enjoy. Karma, its a bitch.
