Golden Locks

Jane experienced her first hair cut. No I did not take her to the hairdresser nor did I do it myself. Yup you guessed it Emily took it upon herself to cut Jane's hair.
It was a calm Friday evening. Bart was finishing up his work and I was starting dinner. Emily and Jane were in the other room playing. Emily came in and asked me where her scissors were. I responded with I didn't know where she'd put them. Emily then asked if she could use the big scissors which I said No you'll have to find your own. The next thing I know Emily comes into the kitchen with a wad of hair saying Jane just cut her hair. My first thought upon seeing the hair was what doll did Emily take the scissors too (I'm still getting used to how blond Jane's hair is). Then my thought processing caught up and I realized what Emily had done. I restrained from yelling or spanking Emily and went to assess the damage. Jane had my big scissors in her hands and I noticed some long locks from each side were the victims. I was so mad. First because of Jane's beautiful hair being cut off and second for Emily framing Jane who has no idea how to use scissors. I struggled coming up with a punishment so I took the hair and scissors and left the room. I finally came back and told Emily her scissors, which she dearly loves to cut and create with, will be taken away until after the holidays and if she ever cuts Jane's hair again I will take her precious nigh nigh and cut it up as well. I think the last consequence will actually keep her from doing it again because Emily burst into tears with the thought of me cutting up her blanket. Hopefully for both of our sakes I never have to do that.
