"Mum! When I cut my hair, it doesn't hurt!" The Cherub, 4 years old.

On the plus-side she *did* need a haircut...

The moral of the story being: Never give a small child scissors!

I cut all my sister's hair off once and was completely shocked that it didn't come right back. Neither my mother nor my sister have ever let me forget it.

That's brilliant! I'm sure the Cherub thinks hers would come back immediately too... thankfully she didn't cut off an awful lot.

Neither my mother nor my sister have ever let me forget it.
Of course not! What are families for?
