New Hair; New Me

“New hair, new hair!” exclaimed Elena, jumping on her mom’s bed.

“Elena, it’s not even seven o’clock yet,” groaned Mom, “go back to bed.”

Elena had never had a haircut in the six years she’s been alive, and she was really excited to get one.

“I want to look like Shakira! No actually Justin Bieber! NOOOO, I know! Miley Cyrus!”

“Lets not get carried away, Elena,” Mom replied with a sigh.

“COME OOOONNN! Get up mom!” screamed Elena with joy.

“Not yet!” whined Mom, throwing the pillow over her head. “Go to sleep, your haircut isn't until four.”

“Oh,” answered Elena with disappointment in her voice.

Two hours later, as mother finally got out of bed, Elena was sitting at the kitchen table with a huge mess. There was syrup in her hair and on the floor, chocolate chips all over the table, waffle batter in the soup bowl and flour EVERYWHERE!

“What happened!? Your hair is a mess!” cried Mom.

“Well…., I made breakfast! But it got kind of messy so maybe we should go to the hair cutter now so I can get this yucky stuff out of my hair,” replied Elena wisely.

“I guess we don’t have a choice. Get in the car and we’ll clean this up later,” Mom said agreeably.

Twenty minutes later they arrived at the hair salon.

“Okay, we’re ready for you Elena,” said the hairdresser. “Come take a seat over here.”

“Okay.” As Elena jumped into the high seat, she realized she couldn’t see herself in the mirror “I can’t see!” said Elena, annoyed.

“Well, we have to wash your hair first silly! Then we will move your seat up so you can see yourself.”

“Ok,” Elena sighed, rolling her eyes.

After Elena’s hair was washed and dried, it was now time for cutting.

“How do you want me to cut your hair sweetie?” asked the hairdresser.

“I want to look like Miley Cyrus!” exclaimed Elena

“Okay, here it goes.”

Snip Snip

As the hairdresser cut Elenas hair, she watched astonished as the hairdressers quick fingers snipped off all the extra hair and made her look like a different person.

“WOWWW! I LOVE IT!!” screamed Elena with joy. “Thank you thank you!” Elena said jumping to give the hairdresser a big hug. I’ll love it forever!”

“Of course, Elena anytime. But next time, try and wait until your scheduled appointment,” replied the hairdresser winking at Elena.

“Okay! Bye!” said Elena happily, as she skipped out the door with her mother.
