GD1 has a best friend at school, who I will call Natalie. Natalie is a little older than GD1 (nearer 6 than 5) and in the middle of a large family, so I guess she often feels the need to make her presence felt. GD and Natalie's relationship isn't always plain sailing, and N will sometimes boss GD around a bit too much.
At the beginning of this week the big news when GD came home was that Natalie had had her long, curly, thick dark brown hair cut short, but didn't seem very pleased with the results. GD's Mum and I exchanged glances, Mum giving her head a slight scratch - yes, it looked like Natalie's mum had had enough of visitations from nits/lice and decided Natalie's wild mane needed taming.
Yesterday afternoon GD's Mum saw Natalie, and her mum, and it transpires tht Natalie had taken the scissors to her own hair, hacking great chunks off the front and one side. It had been tidied up professionally to an extent, but was still pretty awful. Apparently, it's not the first time Natalie has done this to her hair, and she was upset last time, too.
GD and her Mum were discussing it later, and GD with all the wisdom of her 5 years said, very seriously, "Mum, I don't think she thought it through properly."
If I were GD I would keep Natalie in her line of vision in case she thinks it would be a good idea for GD to join her in the cropped look.
