Oh, and in fifth grade I gave myself a bob... With paper scissors... In the living room, with a mirror on my lap, and with terrible lighting!

That was so much fun!

And I never regretted it either. Dad got home, and I remember him saying, "What are you doing?!" whilst I sawed merrily away at my hair, and Mum going, "Oh, let her be," as she cooked something. He was so bewildered. Good times.

Say one nice thing about the person who posted before you: Mellybee's cheese answer is the best one that there could be- I giggled, more than a little.
