I cut my wife's hair

Yes, it's true but how did this happen?

Last night my wife was complaining about how she had cancelled 4 hair appointments because with 4 kids and working part time, something always came up.  So in what I will now call a bizarre moment, she said, do you want to cut my hair for me.  With little thought I said "SURE"

now, the preamble to all this is I cut my kids hair and for someone not professionally trained, I do an OK job and with 4 boys, that saves me a lot of money.  I even trim my own hair from time to time.  Yes, I know, there is a big difference between cutting little boys hair and my wifes beautiful long curly hair.

Back to the story, I asked Liz how much she wanted cut off.  About an inch and a half.  Great, that should be no problem.   So i start cutting and feeling OK about the whole thing.  I finish.  Liz looks a the pile of hair on the ground and says you cut off a lot. She proceeds to pick up a few strands and while most of them are about an inch and a half, there are a few that are closer to 3 inches.  I start to sweat!  She starts to sweat.  She says my hair is wet.  When it dries, it curls up and will be much shorter.  I start to panic.  What have I done!!!

The next day, Liz makes a hair appointment to fix the fiasco I created.  She hates her hair and will not cut it for a long time.

What did I learn from this experience?

• Yes, the obvious is never cut your wife's hair, even if she asks.  You can't win no matter what!
• I truly love my wife . . . until she brings this up at our next fight to make me feel guilty
• I think she truly loves me.  If out marriage survives this, then we should be able to survive anything!
