I had a moment of clarity midway through the process--balanced on the rim of the tub, sick on fumes--that I shouldn't have let my mom talk me into this. Bad, bad decision. <br /><br />Great post! Photos of that age remind us all how painful it is to make the wrong choices on the way to learning how to think for ourselves.Amy Ellermanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02014715731636657267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1594040799707431375.post-33138840105335616402010-09-20T13:01:43.312-07:002010-09-20T13:01:43.312-07:00Martha - I am WAITING to see each and every one of...Martha - I am WAITING to see each and every one of those photos!

I raised my eyebrows and watched the scissors, which is why my bangs were cut so very, very short.<br /><br />- The year I had braces and a stiff neck, and sat in the chair in the Most Awkward Fashion possible.<br /><br />- The year I tried really hard to give a cute smile...and ended up with my eyes closed. I look a bit drunk.<br /><br />Your mullet is totally awesome. And better than my boy haircut from around that age.
