i'm not sure if it was because i was the good kid or the only girl but if i wanted it, i could have it- in regards to my hair. EXCEPT, my mother did put her foot down when i asked to have it shaved underneath (what the hell was i thinking?) and when i asked to dye it blue. we had long arguments about it and in the end i settled for dying a one inch strip underneath blue... where, thankfully, no one could see it. and i never shaved it underneath. apparently i wanted to be a punk-rock-special-kid at ten. anyway, in third grade i got a perm. looking back i gasp. oh well. i'm more grateful that my mom let me have hair freedom.

third graders should not be allowed to get perms. ever.

haha!! my parents let me get a perm in second grade and it looked horrible but i wanted it :) My child will never be allowed to get a perm until they know what they're actually getting themselves into.
