Scott Allan’s World

Gabi is practically famous for her hair. She was born with a ton of it and it is long and gorgeous. I was woken up one day last week by my wife telling me that we might have to cut off Gabi’s hair and that I needed to come see it. Needless to say, this qualifies as an emergency. Her hair on one side was all clumped together and hard as though gum was stuck in it but it wasn’t exactly gum and it wouldn’t wash out. It turns out it was glue. Yazmin eventually was able to brush out a large chunk of it. In school the previous day, Gabi had decided to cut her hair and in a panic, glued it back on. I tried not to laugh and was relieved that we didn’t need to cut it all off. Andres did the same thing at her age and I knew it was coming. Gabi is obsessed with having short hair like the other girls in her class. I try to tell her that all the girls would rather have her long hair instead. She gets really mad at me at insists that she does not have long hair.   Ok.   I think she was embarrassed enough that she won’t try cutting it again by herself.
