So, apparently it was all about the football. (the carport phenomenon…) Well, that was the theory of some youthful shave ice Hawaii native. According to him, during football season having a big group of friends for the game calls for stretching out in the carport and moving one’s system outdoors. Makes sense, especially considering most houses here are rather on the small side! He said for those whose tv’s stay permanently in the carport, they likely have keen-sighted elderly neighbors who stay home all day.
The News bulletin:
Superstar nanny arrives to Dittmar household for a six week internship in domestic and home school management.
Family hikes Diamondhead State Park trail to impressive overlook. Sites whales…very cool. Picnics in the now grassy crater.
Boys get haircuts. Suza feels left out. Releases her pent up jealousy on her own head, sneaking mom’s hair cutting scissors from bathroom. Shocks mom in the kitchen. Mom’s five second long inhaling gasp calls forth entire family. She looks like a Tibetan monk or a little Jewish boy. All the hair behind ears remains; top of head shorn like a sheep. Yep, it’s bad. Suza remorsefully tells mom, “I forgive you, mom” about twenty times.
Mom secretly envies Suza’s freeing statement of self-expression in lopping off locks, and follows suit. Three inches shorn off mom’s hair (starting from the bottom however) accomplished by her own hand 2 hours before Bible study arrived in home. The risk was significant, but irresistible.
Pictures to follow...

We had a similar incident that we're still growing out. LeighAnna cut her hair early in the morning and then woke me up with, "Mommy, I THINK I cut my hair." Full story here... http://adoptionroad.wordpress.com/2007/11/30/i-cut/

I just got my hair cute shorter too.
What a cute story. I think every mom has a self-done haircut story for their kids. LOL.
Have a great weekend.

to see those pictures! We're dying to see evidence of the shearing. At least she didn't buzz her hair. Or maybe that would have been better? :) I've been contemplating doing a little hair cutting of my own--just a few spots that somehow slipped past the hair dresser that are driving me crazy. You shall be my tipping point!

Don't you love those glimpses into a culture -- you would never know this unless you lived there! It is so interesting how for some reason a certain place and people will all follow suit and do the same thing, a very different thing from what other folks do.
In Shanghai they spend lots of time in spring/summer/fall on the street in the evening on lawn chairs, napping, talking, cooking (yes) on the city street. Too crowded and hot inside. I always felt like the apartments were turned inside out like pockets and all of the people and pets and food and furniture and mah jong games came tumbling out.
