I think this is a story most parents can relate to, along with any one who's tried cutting their own hair with disastrous results.

When I was 6 and my sister 3, we decided we were tired of waiting for Mom to cut our hair and did it ourselves, then walked proudly hand-in-hand to show Dad. He taught us some new vocabulary, then called Mom at work to tell her. It was just in time for Easter pictures, too, so we got hats that year.


"Oh, you can’t help that," said the Cat: "we’re all mad here. I’m mad. You’re mad."
"How do you know I’m mad?" said Alice.
"You must be," said the Cat, "or you wouldn’t have come here.”
