Ah, that was cute. Just an idle thought that always comes back to me, but I always did kind of wonder what Lois' hair would look like after they got married if she kept it long. But that's probably because I'm really anti-short haired Lois. Personally I would start a STHLSH--society that hates Lois' short hair.

Well Laura, you almost got it right.

Taking Lois' hair from real long to chin length was a good start, but I'm sure as young mother's will tell you, it's not short enough to keep out of the reach of a young child. (You just had to add that evil pregnancy into it didn't you)

This story actually reminds me a little of a story I was told last fall. The gal who manages the comic shop I frequent has a friend who just had a child. Apparently this young woman got so tired of the child grabbing and pulling on her hair that she shaved it all off. A bit extreme perhaps, but it did solve the problem.

Sweet story...

LOL, Laura! I suppose that was very short, considering where she started from I know what you mean about long hair being hot, though. It's about this time every year that I start itching for a serious trim.

And Tank, cutting your hair very short isn't the only way to keep it away from a baby I spent a few years, it seemed like, with all my hair in a ponytail on the back of my head... which also had the advantage of uncovering and cooling my neck... but to each her own

A sweet and WAFFy story!

No wonder Lois cut it shorter! The first thing I thought of was the time it would take to look after hair that long. :rolleyes:

Thanks for sharing this lovely story.

Cute, Laura.

The too hot to have it long and blessed relief when it's cut syndrome is one that struck a chord. It's usually when the warm weather comes in that I get reckless enough to reach for the scissors as the annoyance factor multiplies.

Cute story, Laura. And yes, long hair around babies can be...dangerous.

However, I have a bone to pick about the 'too hot' thing -- chin length hair is actually hotter!!! Now, short cropped by the head is cool, I can understand getting that kind of style to escape the heat. But it's chin to just above the shoulder lenghth that is actually the hottest -- because, even if you can get part of it into a ponytail, you always have a layer smack on your neck. And that's hot. If it's a little longer, though, so that you can get a solid ponytail, poof! Instant cool off.

Just getting back to this. <g> Sorry Tank, but I'm afraid I write mostly next gen these days, so kids had to be involved somehow...

Thanks for the comments, y'all.

Thank you Shadow, Tank, Melisma, Pam, Tricia, Merry, LabRat, and Bethy.
