Your reaction to this incident, and especially your wife's, show your two littles girls the importance you place on appearances, particularly nice hair. Being a little more matter of fact and not yelling so much would have gone a long way in helping your children develop a healthy attitude about their appearance.

Given your reaction to your kids "bad" hair, how much tolerance are they going to show to another little girl who, perhaps has hair not as nice as their own? Will this surprise you?

I cut and styled my sister's hair when I was about 10 and she was 6. To this day, some 40+ years later she still won't let e near her hair. I don't blame her. Thanks for sharing.

listening to this made my day!

Oh. My. That was one of the funniest, most endearing things I've heard in a long time. I want to know your daughters, now, and when they grow up. Perfect interview. I borrowed it from someone's Facebook page, and several borrowed it from mine, so it's already semi-viral! Thanks!

I love this. Your girls are hilarious. I love the explanation about how she needed to cut her sister's hair because it was almost "down to her tush."

I've already Facebooked this, etc. Thanks for the good listen.

I love the way they retell the story from beginning to end. And the imitation of the mother's response was probably perfect. I'll definitely share this w/my students. Again, the importance of having good storytellers to tell the story.

This piece is wonderful. It's universal, charming and laugh out loud funny. Decades ago, I said some of the very same things while defending my new 'independently styled' haircut. Well done, Jeff!
