The Lawn Mower Accident
I got a haircut (and then some) at the Award Beauty School in Hagerstown (Maryland) on Tuesday.
I've used their student services since 1989 and never had a bad experience...until this Tuesday.
Somehow, the student who was cutting my hair got it into her head that I wanted a crew cut, and when I looked up and saw what she was doing, the damage already had been done. (Don't look, Ethel!)
It is even more traumatic for me, because my haircut reminds me of exactly how I previously looked, many years ago, when my hair just was starting to grow back after some really nasty cancer chemotherapy.
It continues to make me shudder when I look in the mirror, but then that must be the reaction that others normally have when they look at me anyway.
Still, it's creepy, but I'll just tell folks that it's from a lawn mower accident.
